Toyota C-HR Wing Mirror: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the C-HR, the toggle switch has three distinct positions, and the middle one is specifically required for auto-fold-on-lock.

Toyota C-HR Wing Mirror: OEM Part Number

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: left and right C-HR mirrors are usually not interchangeable, and folding function, motor wiring, and turn signal integration (where fitted) all differ by side — double-check you're ordering the correct side before purchase, since a same-side return can be harder to arrange than you'd expect.

A Genuinely Useful Explanation Worth Knowing About the Toggle Switch — Toyota C-HR Wing Mirror

If auto-folding on locking has stopped working but the mirrors still fold manually, this is genuinely worth understanding: the mirror control toggle switch commonly has three distinct positions. Fully out in one direction keeps the mirrors extended permanently. The middle, neutral position is specifically what enables auto-fold when the car is locked. Fully in the other direction keeps the mirrors folded permanently. Many owners genuinely don't realise this middle position is required specifically for auto-fold to work at all.

A genuinely useful diagnostic distinction worth knowing: if the mirrors fold correctly when pressed manually, but don't fold automatically when locking, this points toward the locking signal or its wiring specifically, rather than the mirror's motor.

It's also worth knowing that if only one side has stopped folding while the other works perfectly, this points toward a fault isolated to that specific side rather than anything affecting the shared locking system.

Toyota C-HR 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 Toyota C-HR: 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.

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

One thing worth getting right before you buy a Toyota C-HR 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-HR. 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.

Toyota C-HR Wing Mirror: What It Does

Beyond the obvious job of rear visibility, modern wing mirrors on higher trims of the C-HR 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.

Toyota C-HR 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.

Standard trims	Super White, Black, Silver Metallic, Ash Grey — many colours available as bi-tone with a contrast black roof; 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
GR Sport	Ash Grey with a black roof is genuinely exclusive to this trim; electric adjustment and heated glass are standard on this trim
