Power Mirror
A power mirror is a door mirror adjusted electrically, often with heating and folding.
What is Power Mirror?
Motors move the glass. Many have memory and auto-dimming functions. Some include blind spot lights and cameras. Mirror glass is often available separately with the heating element attached. Auto-dimming mirrors contain a gel that can leak and stain when cracked.
How it works
Small motors tilt the glass when the switch is moved.
Why it matters for your car
Broken glass may affect heating and sensors. Folding motors can fail with frost.
