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

One of the most important aspects of driving is good visibility. Since three mirrors were attached to cars instead of one, the number of accidents has significantly decreased, and pedestrians have begun to move around the streets with less fear.

The inner side of the BLIC brand Housing, outside mirror is made of durable plastic. If necessary, in addition to the protective function, he can also perform an insulating function. The outer cover of the housing is made of metal, the color of which is matched to the color of the car body.

Mechanical stress can be attributed to the main causes of damage to the side mirror housing. Because of this, various-format chips and cracks appear on the mirror element. In most cases, the part cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one.
