Which Volkswagen Tiguan mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Electric adjustment and heated glass on most cars
- Power folding on many trims
- Auto-dimming glass on some trims
- Blind spot warning on some cars
- Camera or surround view equipment on some higher 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.

- Folding motor faults
- Cracked glass
- Wiring issues on cars with many options
Tip for your Tiguan
Look under your mirror for a small lens. If there is one, your Tiguan has a camera function and needs a matching mirror.
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.
