Intended use and fit for Volkswagen Golf 7

The Auto Dim interior rearview mirror was developed specifically for the Volkswagen Golf 7, maintaining factory-standard fit and interior styling. This means a perfect fit with the windshield and cowl, and a visually consistent look with other cockpit elements.

As a Volkswagen product, the mirror follows the original mounting geometry, making installation easier and preserving the original character of the vehicle's interior. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged component or restoring the vehicle to factory specifications.

Auto Dim function and user comfort

A key feature of this mirror is automatic dimming (Auto Dim), which responds to intense light from behind the vehicle. The system reduces glare, allowing:

• reduces glare from the headlights of cars behind you,
• improves visibility in the mirror at night,
• increases the comfort of long journeys and highway driving,
• supports safe observation of the situation behind the vehicle.

Automatic operation does not require driver intervention, allowing you to focus on driving and observing the road ahead.

Appearance, colors and integration with the interior

The mirror is finished in black, typical of Volkswagen interiors, harmoniously blending with the dashboard, headliner, and pillars. Its neutral, understated appearance prevents the element from dominating the visual appearance while maintaining a modern, uncluttered character.

Its location at the rear of the cabin, near the upper edge of the windshield, ensures optimal field of vision and ergonomic use. The mirror's construction has been designed to avoid obstructing visibility while ensuring a stable mount when driving over uneven surfaces.

Condition, origin and advantages of using a used part

The mirror offered is an original, used part, sourced from a disassembly. These components are often chosen by users who expect factory-quality workmanship and fit, while simultaneously reducing the cost of new parts. A used Volkswagen interior mirror allows you to preserve:

• visual consistency with other interior elements,
• original operating parameters of the Auto Dim function,
• factory safety and ergonomics standards.

This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a cracked windshield, or restoring the car to full functionality after damage to the mirror electronics.
