A side mirror on a vehicle is an important structural element. The product is necessary to provide information about the situation in the rear of the car, ensuring traffic safety. These parts are found on all vehicles. Standard passenger cars are equipped with 3 of these rear-view mirrors (2 external and 1 internal).

The side mirror has a simple structure and consists of:

1. an optical element (this mirror element is the main working part of the entire structure);
2. housing;
3. mechanism for adjusting the position.

The functional features of the outside mirror housing
