Essential Maintenance Tips for Replacement Door Mirrors

Once you've fitted the correct Milenco Replacement Van Door Mirror for your Ducato, Boxer or Relay, a little care keeps the electric glass moving smoothly and the housing looking tidy.

Test the electrics after fitting

Because this is the standard electric-glass version, check the mirror adjusts correctly through your dashboard controls as soon as it's fitted, before you set off. This confirms the wiring connection is seated properly and saves discovering a fault once you're on the road.

Know what it doesn't have

This pattern mirror doesn't include a temperature sensor or antenna, so there's nothing to maintain on that front — but it's worth remembering if you're troubleshooting a fault that seems related to either function, since it simply isn't fitted to this version.

Keep the details on file

Because these mirrors are sold individually by side and arm length, it's worth noting down which exact version you fitted (left or right, long or short arm) somewhere you'll find it again — that way, if the other side ever needs replacing, or you need a warranty replacement, you can order the correct match straight away rather than guessing.

General care

As a pattern part fitted to the outside of the vehicle, the usual outdoor care applies: keep the glass clean for visibility and check the housing periodically for any knocks that might affect the mirror's alignment or the electric adjustment mechanism inside.
