Which Fiat 500 mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Manual or electric adjustment depending on trim
- Heated glass on some trims
- Folding on some trims
- Coloured or chrome caps on some trims
Test your own car: does the mirror adjust electrically, fold, show an indicator, or clear mist with the rear screen heater on? Match those features when ordering.
Common Fiat 500 wing mirror problems
- Cap damage and scuffs
- Cracked glass
- Adjustment faults on older cars
Tip for your 500
Many 500s have coloured or chrome caps. If only the cap is damaged, a cap alone may be enough.
Glass, cap or full unit?
If only the glass is cracked, glass alone is usually enough. A broken housing, a dead motor or a failed indicator usually means a full unit. See glass vs full unit and replacing a wing mirror. For all your options, see wing mirror replacement.
