Which Renault Clio mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Manual or electric adjustment
- Heated glass on some trims
- Electric folding on some higher trims
- Indicator repeater in the housing on some versions
- Body-coloured or contrasting caps depending on trim
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 Renault Clio wing mirror problems
- Folding mechanism failing on cars with electric fold
- Cracked glass
- Cap damage and scuffs
Tip for your Clio
Clio caps are often body coloured. If only the cap is broken, a cap on its own can be a cheaper fix.
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.
