Technical characteristics and intended use

This auto-dip interior rearview mirror for the Mercedes ML W163 is designed for installation in the rear of the cabin, on the windshield. It's designed to maintain factory rearward visibility while also working with the auto-dimming system, which reduces glare from following vehicle headlights.

The grey mirror housing is colour-matched to the typical interior configurations in this model, allowing for aesthetic replacement of a worn or damaged element without interfering with other finishing components.

Construction, colors and integration with the interior

The mirror features a compact, ergonomic gray housing, blending seamlessly with the lines of the headliner and A-pillars. The neutral color allows for easy integration into both lighter and darker interior finishes, maintaining a cohesive, uncluttered look.

Its rearward positioning in the driver's field of vision provides an optimal viewing angle, while the carefully selected mirror proportions enhance driving comfort in city traffic and on the highway. The auto-dip technology automatically reduces the intensity of reflected light, improving safety when driving at night.

Condition, origin and benefits of choosing a used part

The mirror offered is an original Mercedes part in used condition. This type of component, sourced from a disassembly, is a beneficial solution for ML W163 owners who want to maintain factory-standard equipment without having to resort to aftermarket parts with unreliable specifications. A used OEM part typically provides:

• factory fit for windshield mounting and vehicle installation,
• visual consistency with other interior elements,
• maintaining the original functions of the auto-dip mirror.

For cars from the youngtimer segment, choosing a proven, used mirror is often the most rational way to restore the full functionality of the cabin while maintaining the character of the original configuration.

Application in renovation and modernization of ML W163

The auto-dip interior mirror for the Mercedes ML W163 is suitable for both standard replacement of a damaged part and interior refresh projects where maintaining the model's original character is important. Thanks to the factory design, installation is almost plug-and-play, without the need for headliner modifications or additional adapters.

ML W163 owners who are planning a more extensive cabin renovation or gradual replacement of equipment elements can treat this mirror as an important step in restoring driving comfort and improving the ergonomics of night-time operation.
