Protective covers for wing mirrors: why do I need them and how to choose?

Worcester Editorial 5th Jun, 2024 Updated: 5th Jun, 2024   0

Wing mirrors are an important element of car safety, providing a view of the rear and side of the road. However, they are prone to various damages such as scratches, chips, dirt and icing. Protective mirror covers help prevent these problems and extend the life of your mirrors. Precipitation can obstruct visibility by leaving drips and streaks on the mirrors that distort the image. In the winter, mirrors can become icy, completely preventing the driver from using them. And constant exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to fading and clouding of the mirror surface, reducing its reflective properties.

Why do I need protective covers for wing mirrors?

The covers protect the mirrors from scratches and chips that can occur when they come into contact with branches, stones, other vehicles or accidental impacts.

The covers prevent dirt, dust, insects and bird droppings from getting on the mirrors, which improves visibility and makes them easier to maintain. In winter, the covers prevent ice from forming on the mirrors, which saves cleaning time and ensures safe driving. Some covers are aerodynamically shaped, which can slightly reduce air resistance and improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Covers are available in a variety of colours and designs to give your car a personal touch.

The covers can be made of different materials such as nylon, polyester, cotton, leather or faux leather. Choose a material that has good durability, water resistance and UV resistance. Make sure the covers are the right size for your mirrors. Covers that are too small will not provide adequate protection, and covers that are too large may come off while driving. Covers can be attached to your mirrors using elastic bands, Velcro, clasps or magnets. Choose the attachment method that is most convenient for you. Choose a cover design that suits your preferences and the style of your car.




 


Installation and care:

The installation of protectivecovers as in the picture from the site onlinecarparts.co.uk is usually easy and can be done by yourself. To do this, simply slip the cover over the mirror and attach it in the chosen way.

Care of the covers also does not require special efforts. It is enough to periodically wipe them with a damp cloth or sponge to remove impurities.

In conclusion:

Protective covers for wing mirrors are an inexpensive and effective way to protect the mirrors from damage, dirt and icing, as well as improve the appearance of the car. When choosing covers, pay attention to the material, size, attachment method and design so that they best suit your needs and preferences.
