Dongfeng FMC SX5 Right Rear View Mirror – Part No.: SX5-8202020

Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “mirror on your car’s side.” It’s the core safety component for monitoring your right-side blind spot in the Dongfeng FMC SX5: a durable unit made of scratch-resistant ABS plastic housing (matches the SX5’s body color and resists minor impacts), an anti-glare glass lens (stops oncoming lights from dazzling you at night), and built-in parts for key functions (like electric adjustment or defogging, depending on the SX5 variant). Mounted on the SX5’s right front door—aligned to give the driver a clear view of the right rear road and nearby vehicles—it’s your “extra eye” for safe driving. Without it, you’d miss cars, bikes, or pedestrians in your right blind spot when changing lanes, parking, or turning, raising crash risks.

This right rear view mirror is exclusive to Dongfeng FMC SX5—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the SX5’s specs: its size and shape match the right door’s mounting spot perfectly (no gaps that let wind noise in), its viewing angle is tuned for the SX5’s driver seat position (covers just the right blind spot), and its electrical connectors (for features like electric adjustment) match the SX5’s door wiring (no rewiring needed). Grab a generic mirror or one for other models? You’ll run into trouble: wrong size (blocks your view or doesn’t fit the door), no anti-glare (dazzling at night), or incompatible wiring (electric functions won’t work).

1. Core Jobs: Expand Visibility, Boost Safety & Handle Daily Use

As a non-negotiable part of the SX5’s driving safety system, it does four key jobs to keep you in control:

Eliminate right-side blind spots: The mirror’s curved or flat lens (depending on variant) widens your field of view—so you can see cars, scooters, or curbs that would stay hidden behind the SX5’s body. This is critical for changing lanes: a quick glance at the mirror lets you know if the right lane is clear.

Electric adjustment (most variants): No need to lean over or open the door to adjust the mirror—just use the switch inside the SX5’s cabin. It lets you tweak the angle easily (even while driving slowly) to match your height or seating position, so you always have a clear view.

Defog/defrost for bad weather: Many SX5 variants have a heating element in the mirror. When it rains, snows, or fogs up, the heater melts frost or dries moisture on the lens—so you don’t have to wipe it manually (a big help when you’re on the road).

Withstand daily wear: The ABS plastic housing resists small scrapes (like brushing against a parking meter) and UV rays (doesn’t fade or crack in the sun). The glass lens is also shatter-resistant—if it gets hit by a small rock, it won’t break into sharp pieces.

This SX5-8202020 right rear view mirror only fits Dongfeng FMC SX5—wrong fit means unsafe driving or installation failure:

Fits These: All Dongfeng FMC SX5 variants (matches the right door’s mounting holes, body color, and electrical specs—confirm with VIN).

Won’t Fit These:

Other Dongfeng models: Like Dongfeng Lamari T5, AX7, or Forthing T5 EVO—different door sizes, mirror shapes, and wiring setups (can’t attach to the door or work).

Non-Dongfeng vehicles: Even if visually similar, their door mounting points and electrical voltages differ (no functional fit; may damage the SX5’s wiring).

SX5 with modified doors: Aftermarket custom doors may have different mirror mounting spots—original mirror can’t fit (leaves gaps or blocks other parts like door handles).

Installation & Upkeep (Pros Recommended—Safety First!)

Installation: Best Done by Certified Technicians

Replacing this mirror involves electrical wiring and precise alignment—DIY can lead to poor visibility or wiring damage:

Prep: Techs remove the inner panel of the SX5’s right front door (to access the mirror’s wiring), disconnect the old mirror’s terminal, and unbolt the old unit from the door.

Install new mirror: They align SX5-8202020 with the door’s mounting holes, bolt it tightly (to avoid wind noise), plug in the wiring terminal, and reattach the door panel.

Test: They check electric adjustment (if applicable) to ensure the mirror moves smoothly, test the heating function (if applicable), and adjust the mirror angle to the SX5’s standard viewing position—confirming clear visibility of the right rear road.

Maintenance: Easy Checks to Keep It Working

Wipe the lens weekly: Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove dust, bug splatters, or rain spots—dirty lenses blur your view (you might miss a car in your blind spot).

Check electric functions monthly: Press the adjustment switch to move the mirror up/down/left/right—if it’s slow or stuck, have techs clean the motor (dirt can clog it). Test the heater in cold weather to make sure it defrosts quickly.

Fix small scratches on the housing: Use a touch-up paint (matching the SX5’s body color) to cover minor scrapes—this stops rust (for painted metal parts) and keeps the mirror looking neat.

Tighten loose bolts (if needed): If the mirror shakes while driving, ask techs to check the mounting bolts—loose bolts make the mirror vibrate, blurring your view.

Summary: Dongfeng FMC SX5 Right Rear View Mirror (SX5-8202020)

Exclusive to Dongfeng FMC SX5 (confirm VIN for fitment), this mirror is a core safety part—made of scratch-resistant ABS housing (matches body color), anti-glare glass lens, and built-in parts for electric adjustment/defogging (per variant). Mounted on the right front door, it acts as an "extra eye" for the driver.

Key roles: Eliminate right-side blind spots (critical for lane changes/parking); enable easy electric adjustment (matches driver height); defog/defrost in bad weather; resist scrapes, UV rays, and minor impacts.

It fits all SX5 variants but not other Dongfeng models (e.g., Lamari T5, AX7), non-Dongfeng vehicles, or SX5 with modified doors.

Professional installation is recommended (involves door panel removal and wiring checks). Maintenance: Wipe the lens weekly, test electric functions monthly, touch up housing scratches, and tighten loose bolts. Original parts ensure proper fit, clear visibility, and full function.
