A Genuine, Specific Reset Procedure Worth Trying First — Peugeot 2008 Wing Mirror
If your mirrors have stopped folding automatically, either via the key fob or the interior switch, it's genuinely worth trying a specific, documented reset procedure before assuming a motor or wiring fault: with the ignition on, hold the mirror fold button down, turn the ignition off while still holding it, release the button, then hold it down again and turn the ignition back on before finally releasing it. This clears a confused state in the folding system's memory that can develop over time, and has resolved the fault for multiple owners without needing any parts replaced at all — genuinely worth trying given it costs nothing and takes a minute.
It's also worth knowing a specific behavioural quirk that isn't a fault: if you retract the mirrors manually using the door switch rather than locking the car, they generally won't automatically fold back out when you unlock with the remote — only using the door switch again brings them back out. If your mirrors "aren't responding to the key fob," it's worth checking whether they were folded in manually last, since this explains the behaviour without anything being broken.
Peugeot 2008 Wing Mirror: More Electronics Hiding Inside Than Most People Realise
There's more inside the Peugeot 2008's wing mirror than the glass suggests: folding motors, heating elements, indicator lights, and on some cars, blind-spot sensors are all commonly built in, which is why a "faulty mirror" complaint can mean several genuinely different problems.

Peugeot 2008 Wing Mirror: Driver's Side or Passenger Side? Sorting Out the Terminology
Before ordering a Peugeot 2008 wing mirror, it's worth double-checking which side you actually need — listings use inconsistent terminology across UK retailers and parts catalogues, and the wrong choice is an easy, avoidable mistake. For right-hand-drive UK cars:
- 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 2008. 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.
Peugeot 2008 Wing Mirror: What It Does
Beyond the obvious job of rear visibility, modern wing mirrors on higher trims of the 2008 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.
Peugeot 2008 Wing Mirror: Generations, Derivatives, Colour & Mirror Adjustment
| Standard trims | Bianca White, Cumulus Grey, Nimbus Grey, Nera Black, Vertigo Blue; 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 |
|---|---|
| Colour-matching note | Pearlescent White is genuinely harder to colour-match than the solid Bianca White after a respray — owner forum accounts describe visible mismatches even after professional bodywork, so confirm which exact white your car has before ordering a replacement bumper |
| GT/GT Line | Elixir Red is considered the signature performance-trim shade; electric adjustment and heated glass are standard on this trim |
