Rear-View Mirror (Interior Mirror)
The rear-view mirror is the interior mirror at the top of the windscreen that shows the view through the rear window.
What is Rear-View Mirror (Interior Mirror)?
Manual mirrors have a lever to reduce glare at night. Auto-dimming mirrors darken automatically. The mirror base often houses the rain sensor and camera. Some cars offer a digital rear-view mirror that shows a camera image instead of the reflection.
How it works
It is glued or clipped to a bracket bonded to the windscreen.
Why it matters for your car
Hanging items from the mirror can block the view and are illegal in some places. After a windscreen change, the camera behind it may need calibration.
