Your Nissan's Door Mirror Glass (Left), commonly referred to as side mirror glass or wing mirror glass, helps you have a clear picture of the road while you're driving. If properly used and in conjunction with your Nissan's other mirrors, your side mirrors may help you make intelligent driving decisions, detect and steer clear of upcoming cars, and see potential road hazards.
Together, your Door Mirror Glass (Left) and mirror housing form your Nissan's side mirrors. Your Nissan's Door Mirror Glass (Left) sits within the side mirror's housing and is composed of reflective single-ply tempered glass. Tempered glass is used in your Door Mirror Glass (Left) since it will break into sizeable shards rather than shattering like a traditional mirror could.
Though left and right side mirrors perform similar functions, they are made a bit differently. The side mirror on your driver's side is usually designed using flat glass, but passengers' side mirrors are typically a convex glass. Your passenger's side mirror curves inward to give drivers a more complete picture. However, convex mirrors cause image distortion — hence the labeling which states, "Objects seen in mirror may be closer than they appear". It's crucial you confirm that you have the right glass that corresponds to your mirror housing.
Your Nissan's trim package may mean your side mirrors may have extras, such as defrost, blind-spot mirrors, a built-in turn signal, or auto-dimming.
Your vehicle's door mirrors are a necessary car part. Choosing to drive when your side mirrors are damaged or missing violates the law in many states. Promptly replace your Door Mirror Glass (Left) should you find it is cracked, warped, or missing. Good road visibility hinges on the condition of your Door Mirror Glass (Left). Driving without it makes normal driving tasks hard, like switching lanes, backing out, or street parking. Driving your Nissan with even one missing or damaged Door Mirror Glass is highly discouraged.
Swapping out your Nissan Door Mirror Glass (Left) at home may be an option. But, the job will require the correct replacement parts, tools, and experience repairing cars. Reserve an appointment with your local Nissan service and repair center if you'd rather leave the task to a certified automotive specialist.
Ensure you have an excellent view of your surroundings and don't drive when your visibility is impaired. Shop quality OEM Nissan Door Mirror Glass (Left) for the right functionality and fit.
