Side mirrors engineered to plug in like the factory unit never left the car.
From base manual assemblies to heated, power-fold, memory, and turn-signal packages — our mirror catalog covers the electronics your customer's harness expects, without the guesswork.

Where our mirror program fits
Side mirrors are one of the most-replaced collision components on the road, and one of the easiest to get wrong. We stock configurations by connector type, glass heater profile, and paint code prep so the assembly you receive is genuinely ready for the bay — not a base shell you have to source pieces around.
Where these mirrors go to work
Parking-lot bump repairs
The most common collision claim on any lot. Direct-fit housings drop in without wiring rework.
Weather-cracked housings
Sun-baked plastics and salt-belt corrosion make the mirror housing itself the failure point on Midwest vehicles.
Electronics upgrades
Replacing a base mirror with heated/signal on a trim upgrade — we match the harness pinout, not just the shape.
How to tell a mirror is finished
A mirror rarely fails silently. Look for these before you re-quote the job:
- Housing cracked at the pivot or paintable shell separating from the sail bracket
- Glass shattered, delaminated, or defrost grid not warming after 60 seconds
- Power fold or adjust motor grinding, ticking, or refusing to hold position
- Turn signal LED strip dark, flickering, or throwing a hyper-flash fault code
Why body shops re-order mirrors weekly

- 2Snow banks, plow strikes, and garage-door contact
- 3Vandalism and mirror-fold vandalism on urban routes
- 4OEM trim upgrades adding heated glass or signal features

How to spec a mirror without a callback
Match the connector, not the trim badge
Pin count is the source of truth. A 3-pin base and a 9-pin heated/fold/signal look identical from ten feet away.
Confirm paintability
Some housings ship primed textured, others smooth-shell. Your painter's prep time doubles when the wrong one arrives.
Decide on signal now, not later
Adding signal after the fact usually means a second mirror. Spec it up front if the vehicle came equipped.
Mirror questions we field at the counter
- Do your heated mirrors match the factory defrost speed?
- Yes. We qualify heater elements to OE warm-up times and current draw so your customer never notices the swap on a cold morning.
- Can you ship a base housing and heated glass separately?
- For most nameplates we can, but on late-model vehicles the housing and glass are matched at the pivot — call to confirm before splitting the order.
- Are signal mirrors CAPA-certified?
- The signal-integrated variants in our catalog carry CAPA seals where the certification body has issued them; the rest ship as premium non-CAPA with our warranty.
