About part number 7338980

An exterior side mirror gives the driver a clear view along the side and to the rear of the vehicle. It is part of the bodywork and electrical system, mounted to the door frame and connected to the internal wiring harness. When it is working correctly, the driver can adjust the glass position electrically from inside the cabin and see trailing traffic clearly without distortion or vibration.

To confirm this is the correct component for your vehicle, check the part number stamped or printed on your original unit. On an exterior mirror, this number is usually located on the internal plastic housing, near the mounting bracket, or on a label attached to the wiring connector. The part number for this item is 7338980. Matching this number directly with the number on your existing part is what decides whether it will fit.

A side mirror is usually replaced after impact damage, electrical motor failure, or when internal adjustment mechanisms break. When replacing this part, you may also need replacement door trim clips, plastic trim removal tools, or a new glass element if the mirror cover or casing is being transferred separately.

About this kind of part: door mirrors

A door mirror is an assembly rather than a single part: a painted cover, a base that bolts to the door, the glass on a motorised carrier, and depending on how the car was specified a heater element, a folding motor, an indicator, a puddle lamp, a blind-spot sensor and a camera. The number of wires in the connector is the quickest guide to how much is inside one, and it is the main reason two mirrors that look identical are not interchangeable.

Why people replace one

  • The mirror has been struck in a narrow gap or a car park and the cover, the glass or the base is broken.
  • The folding mechanism has stripped, so the mirror no longer powers in or sits at the correct angle once folded.
  • The glass adjustment has failed, usually a stripped drive in the carrier behind the glass.
  • The indicator or the puddle lamp has stopped working and is sealed into the assembly.
  • The painted cover has been scuffed along its outer face, which is the first thing to touch a wall or a post.

Fitting it

  • Most mirrors come off from inside the door, behind the trim panel or a small triangular cover, held by three bolts.
  • The connector is released inside the door rather than by pulling the loom through the door skin.
  • A mirror with folding, heating, a camera or a blind-spot sensor may need coding to the car so that it operates and reports correctly.
  • The cover and the glass are usually available separately, so a scuffed cover does not always mean replacing the whole assembly.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Count the pins in the connector and compare them with your own mirror. This is the single most useful check, because every extra feature adds wires.
  • Match the part number. Mirrors are handed, and within one model there are usually several versions by specification.
  • Check which features yours has before buying: folding, heating, an indicator, a puddle lamp, a blind-spot indicator in the glass, or a camera in the underside.
  • A painted cover is matched by paint code from the car's own identification plate, and a used cover has aged with the car it came off.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — On a label on the base or moulded into the housing behind the cover.
B Connector — Count the pins. A mirror with folding, heating, a lamp, a sensor and a camera has many more wires than a plain one, and the plug will not match.
C Glass and carrier — Whether the glass is present, whether it carries a blind-spot indicator, and whether the carrier behind it is intact.
D Camera aperture — An opening in the underside of the housing, where the car has a surround-view camera. Its presence or absence is part of the match.
E Base and mounting face — The three bolt holes and the sealing face against the door. Check for cracks radiating from a bolt hole.
F Cover outer face — Look along the outer edge of the cover rather than straight at it, which is where scuffing from a wall collects.
