Purpose and function of the interior mirror
This interior mirror was designed for the W176 series models, adhering to Mercedes factory standards. Mounted at the rear of the front cabin, it provides stable and predictable visibility behind the vehicle, allowing for safe maneuvering, lane changes, and reversing.
As an original element, the mirror maintains the correct proportions of the glass, appropriate curvature and neutral image reproduction, which reduces distortion and eye fatigue during long drives.
Appearance, colors and integration with the interior
The black mirror housing was chosen to harmonise with the typical upholstery and headliner colours of W176 models. This colour choice:
- facilitates aesthetic integration with the dashboard and front pillars,
- does not reflect light in a way that distracts the driver,
- provides a subdued, modern look to the interior.
The neutral black color also helps maintain visual cleanliness – any dirt is less visible, and the element looks good in both classic and sportier vehicles.
Installation parameters and fit
The mirror is classified as a rearview mirror, meaning its design is adapted for installation in the rear of the driver's field of vision, using the factory mounting point. This allows:
- the correct viewing angles provided by the vehicle manufacturer are maintained,
- there is no need to interfere with the structure of the cowl or headliner,
- the assembly is carried out in an orderly and predictable manner for the service.
Proper fit to the W176 platform reduces the risk of play, vibrations or unwanted noises while driving, which is important for both comfort and safety of use.
Item condition and practical use
The mirror offered is a used item, which means it has been disassembled and may show signs of wear typical of this class of part. At the same time, it remains fully functional, allowing for the effective replacement of a damaged or worn mirror in your vehicle.
Replacing the interior mirror is particularly important when:
- the original element has cracks or scratches that make it difficult to see,
- the mounting has been damaged and the mirror no longer maintains a stable position,
- it is necessary to restore the vehicle to near factory condition after a collision or bodywork repairs.
