Mini Rear View Mirror diagram for Cooper Paceman, Cooper Countryman, Cooper

An Interior Rear View Mirror is the mirror mounted inside the vehicle’s cabin, usually on the windshield or roof, that allows the driver to see directly behind the car through the rear window. It is a primary safety component, enabling safe lane changes, reversing, and overall situational awareness.

Many modern rearview mirrors also include features such as auto-dimming (to reduce glare from headlights behind), integrated displays (for backup cameras), microphones, or sensors.

• Loose or vibrating mirror – caused by worn mounting hardware or adhesive failure.
• Poor visibility or distortion – glass delamination, scratches, or mirror film deterioration.
• Mirror won’t stay in position – loose ball joint or broken internal adjustment mechanism.

About Genuine Mini

The original parts used by Mini to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mini” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mini, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mini Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mini are not necessarily manufactured by Mini. No cause for concern, as Mini designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mini for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mini parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mini logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
