Detailed Product Description

This Dorman door mirror assembly (part number 955-974) is tailored for Mini Cooper vehicles, ensuring a specific fit that matches factory specifications. The mirror features an electric adjustment mechanism, allowing drivers to fine-tune the mirror angle from inside the vehicle.
