Technical characteristics and intended use
This interior rearview mirror was designed specifically for the W168 series, in compliance with manufacturer standards. Its location in the driver's rear field of vision allows for convenient monitoring of the situation behind the vehicle without impeding forward visibility.
The black mirror housing complements the typical interior colors of this brand's vehicles, ensuring the element doesn't stand out visually from the headliner and console. The design is adapted to the standard mounting points, making installation easier and reducing the risk of incorrect fit.
Construction, ergonomics and comfort of use
The interior rearview mirror for the W168 has been designed to ensure a stable position and adequate rigidity while driving. The shape of the glass and housing proportions are designed to provide the widest possible field of view while maintaining compact dimensions that do not obstruct the windshield.
The reflective surface is optimized for image clarity, which promotes safe maneuvering, especially when reversing and changing lanes. The black housing reduces light reflections and complements the interior trim, creating a cohesive, uncluttered cockpit.
Condition, origin and service use
The mirror comes from a disassembly and is offered as a used part, making it a sensible choice for operational repairs and restoring full functionality of the vehicle's interior. This type of component is suitable both as a replacement for a damaged mirror and when the existing component shows signs of intensive use.
Using an original interior mirror instead of a non-standard solution allows for the cabin to retain its factory character and ensures proper fitment on or near the windshield. This is a practical solution for users who expect predictable installation and compatibility with other interior components.
