Mirrors

Replacing Mirrors On Your Nissan

Most drivers know the basic functions of their vehicle's systems, but fewer understand the signs of gradual wear and when replacement becomes necessary. Mirrors provide essential visibility of traffic and obstacles around your vehicle. Side mirrors eliminate blind spots and help with lane changes, while the rearview mirror shows what's happening behind you. Modern mirrors include heating elements, turn signals, blind spot indicators, and automatic dimming features. These components endure constant exposure to weather, vibration, and temperature extremes.

Understanding Mirror Damage and Wear

Mirrors break from contact with other vehicles, garage walls, or mailboxes during tight maneuvers. The glass cracks from impacts with stones or ice chunks falling from other vehicles. Electrical connections for heated mirrors and signals fail from moisture intrusion through damaged seals. The adjustment motors burn out after years of use, leaving mirrors stuck in one position. Mounting brackets loosen from vibration and eventually break, causing mirrors to wobble or detach completely. Owners of vehicles like the Sentra and Murano typically replace mirrors after collisions or when electrical features stop working, usually between five and eight years of ownership.

Benefits of Factory Mirror Assemblies

Generic mirror replacements lack the quality of genuine Nissan products and often arrive with incorrect connector types or missing features. Aftermarket versions may not include heating elements or turn signals that came standard on your model. We stock complete mirror assemblies with all factory features intact, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle's electrical system and lighting components. Cheaper options use low-grade glass that distorts images and plastic housings that fade rapidly. Genuine parts maintain your vehicle's safety ratings and preserve advanced features like blind spot monitoring.
