VW Rear View Mirror Assembly - Genuine VW 000072548R

Product Information

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 VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
