Technical Information
The mirror corner trim is positioned at the upper front section of the interior door trim, directly adjacent to the exterior wing mirror mounting area.
Its main purposes are to:
* Cover the internal mirror mounting area
* Conceal fixings and openings in the door
* Provide a finished factory appearance
* Follow the contour of the front door and mirror mounting point
* Help protect the internal mounting area from accidental contact
* Maintain the original appearance of the T5 cabin
The panel is moulded specifically to follow the shape of the T5 front-door frame and mirror mounting area.
Wing Mirror / Door Trim System Information
This component is associated with the front-door mirror assembly and surrounding interior trim.
Related components can include:
* Exterior wing mirror
* Mirror mounting bracket
* Mirror electrical wiring where fitted
* Interior door card
* Mirror adjustment components
* Door wiring harness
* Mirror corner trim
* Retaining clips and fixings
The trim itself does not control the electric mirror and contains no electronic control function unless additional equipment is physically incorporated into a particular version.
Common Reasons for Replacement
Replacement may be required because of:
* Cracked plastic
* Broken retaining clips
* Damaged mounting points
* Missing original trim
* Scratches or cosmetic damage
* Damage during wing-mirror replacement
* Damage during door-card removal
* Accident damage
* Previous incorrect removal
* Loose or rattling trim
These corner trims can become damaged when removed to access the wing-mirror mounting hardware, particularly if the retaining clips or mounting points have become brittle with age.
Common Symptoms / Problems
A damaged mirror corner trim may cause:
* Loose trim around the mirror
* Rattling while driving
* Poor fit against the door
* Visible gaps
* Exposed mirror mounting hardware
* Broken or missing retaining points
* Poor interior appearance
If the trim repeatedly comes loose, check both the panel and the corresponding mounting/retaining points in the door.
Important Diagnostic Information
Before replacement, inspect:
* Trim retaining clips
* Plastic mounting tabs
* Door mounting points
* Wing-mirror mounting area
* Surrounding door card
* Any wiring routed behind the panel
If the vehicle has recently had a replacement wing mirror fitted, check that the mirror and its wiring are correctly installed before fitting the trim.
Installation
This is a mechanical interior trim component.
Care should be taken during installation to align the locating tabs and retaining clips correctly before applying pressure.
Do not force the panel into position, as aged plastic mounting tabs can be damaged.
After installation, check that:
* The trim sits flush against the door
* All clips are correctly engaged
* There are no excessive gaps
* Wiring is not trapped behind the panel
* The trim does not interfere with the mirror or door operation
Programming / Coding
No programming or coding required.
