Intended use and fit for Mini Cabrio

This interior rearview mirror mounting base is designed specifically for the Mini Cabrio Cooper One R52 and R57. Its shape, mounting method, and geometry are designed to match the factory windshield and original mirror, maintaining a consistent dashboard appearance and proper rearward vision.

The rear-mounted component allows for stable load transfer from the mirror, minimizing vibrations and improving mirror clarity while driving. This provides the driver with predictable, factory-correct mirror behavior.

Construction and technical function

The base plate of the interior mirror plays a key role as the connector between the glass and the mirror body. It is responsible for:

• stable mounting of the mirror at the mounting point provided by the manufacturer,
• maintaining the correct angle of alignment with the vehicle axis,
• safe transmission of forces acting on the mirror during adjustment and driving,
• reducing play that could cause image vibrations.

The original Mini design ensures compatibility with the factory rearview mirror, making installation easy and eliminating the need for adapters or modifications.

Used Condition and the Benefits of Choosing OEM

The item is offered in used condition, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality. The original OEM mounting base provides:

• factory fit for Mini Cabrio Cooper One R52/R57 window and mirror,
• maintaining the mirror position intended by the manufacturer,
• consistency with other interior elements in terms of construction.

For users who want to restore full mirror functionality after replacing the glass, damaging the mount or removing accessory solutions, this is a practical and technically correct solution.

Installation and service application

The Mini interior mirror mounting base is designed for service applications such as:

• repair after the mirror and base fell off,
• restoration of the original mounting after previous modifications,
• replacement of a damaged or cracked base while maintaining the factory mirror.

The selection of parts is facilitated by the OEM marking and available interchangeable numbers in the technical specifications, which allows verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version.
