OEM Part Number: 2057115 (LH) / 2057117 (RH)

Accuracy note: Covers the second-generation C-Max and Grand C-Max (2010–2019). Ford finis numbers 2057115 (left) and 2057117 (right) are the common electric heated indicator units. Mirror specification varies by trim — heated, power-folding, indicator, memory, puddle-light and blind-spot / lane-assist versions use different units and connector pin counts, so match the pin count and features of the mirror you are removing, or confirm against your VIN, before ordering. Aftermarket references are catalogue listings for this generation, not factory numbers.

Passenger side (LH / nearside), complete mirror	Genuine Ford: 2057115. Aftermarket: Van Wezel 1862807 (electric, heated, primed, 6-pin, LHD/RHD); Johns 32 67 37-23 (power-folding, indicator, puddle light, 8-pin); Diederichs 1467125 (folding, indicator, 8–10 pin); Alkar 6139373; Alkar 9249375 (folding, puddle lamp); TYC 310-0194; Ridex 50O0707

Mirror glass only (aftermarket)	LH Alkar 6411134 / TYC 310-0128-1 (aspherical, heated); RH Alkar 6412134 / TYC 310-0127-1 (convex, heated)
Spec variants to match	Zetec: 6-pin heated indicator; Titanium / X: 8–10 pin power-folding with puddle lamp; 2015 facelift cars with BLIS use blind-spot glass.

The Famous "Click-Click" Powerfold Fault Has a Genuine, Understood Cause — Ford C-Max Wing Mirror

If your power-folding mirror produces a repeating clicking noise when locking the car rather than folding smoothly, this is a genuinely well-documented Ford fault with a properly understood mechanical cause. Ford's power-fold mirrors use a simple timed relay with no current-sensing or motor-stall detection, meaning the motor keeps trying to wind the mirror inward for a couple of seconds even after it's already folded fully and physically stopped. Over time, the motor grinding against the mirror's internal case cog while stalled gradually deforms the cog's teeth, until the worm gear eventually skips past the damage entirely — producing the characteristic repeating click. This is understood as an inherent design characteristic across Ford's power-fold mirrors generally, not a fault specific to any one car or generation.

What this means for repair costs: once the cog teeth are damaged, replacing the mirror unit is generally the only fix — budget roughly £120 for the mirror plus around £50 labour, based on real owner quotes. Some confident DIYers have successfully repaired the internal mechanism themselves by disassembling the casing and addressing the worn cog directly, avoiding a full replacement.

Ford C-Max Wing Mirror: More Electronics Hiding Inside Than Most People Realise

What looks like a simple glass-and-plastic assembly on the outside is often anything but on the Ford C-Max: its wing mirrors typically house folding motors, heating elements, indicator lights, and sometimes blind-spot sensors, so a "faulty mirror" isn't really one specific fault.

Before you buy: mirror specification varies significantly by trim — heated, power-folding, indicator-integrated and blind-spot-sensor versions are not interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Ford C-Max Wing Mirror: Driver's Side or Passenger Side? Sorting Out the Terminology

One thing worth getting right before you buy a Ford C-Max wing mirror: terminology for left and right isn't applied consistently across UK retailers and parts catalogues, which trips up plenty of buyers. On a right-hand-drive UK car, the convention runs like this:

Driver's side = right-hand (RH) = offside (OS) — the side closest to the centre of the road.
Passenger side = left-hand (LH) = nearside (NS) — the side closest to the kerb.

Part listings may use any of these terms interchangeably — "RH mirror," "offside mirror," and "driver's side mirror" all refer to the same physical part on a UK-spec C-Max. Double-check which convention your supplier is using before ordering, since a mix-up here is one of the most common reasons the wrong mirror turns up.

Ford C-Max Wing Mirror: What It Does

Beyond the obvious job of rear visibility, modern wing mirrors on higher trims of the C-Max often integrate turn signal repeaters, puddle lights, heating elements to clear condensation, and power-fold motors for tight parking spaces. Higher-spec versions may also house blind-spot monitoring sensors, making them considerably more expensive to replace than a basic mirror.

Ford C-Max Wing Mirror: Generations, Derivatives, Colour & Mirror Adjustment

Accuracy note: mirror covers colour-match the body — see notes below. Manual vs. electric adjustment and heated glass are general patterns by trim and era, not a substitute for confirming your exact derivative via VIN, since even within one generation the base specification can differ from what's typical for that era. This applies equally to the driver's side and passenger side mirror, which always match in adjustment type and heating.

All generations	Frozen White, Moondust Silver, Fantastic Red, Silver Fox, Space White; electric adjustment is standard on most trims from this generation, with heated glass increasingly common too — though the most basic specification may still be manual; confirm your exact trim
