FAQs
Which side is the 'Left' placement?
The 'Left' placement refers to the driver's side mirror in countries where driving is on the right-hand side of the road (e.g., USA, most of Europe). For vehicles driving on the left (e.g., UK, Australia), 'Left' would refer to the passenger side.
What does 'Convex' mean for a mirror?
A convex mirror is curved outwards. This shape makes objects appear smaller and further away, but it provides a much wider field of vision, helping to reduce blind spots. It is the standard type for most wing mirrors.
Does this include the full mirror assembly (motor, housing)?
No, this product is only the replacement wing mirror glass. It does not include the mirror housing, motor, or backing plate.
How do I know if I need a convex mirror?
Most cars use convex mirrors on the side-view mirrors for safety reasons, offering a wider view. If your original mirror glass is curved outwards, you need a convex replacement. If it's flat, you need a flat replacement.
What if my Astra H is a different year?
This specific mirror glass is designed for Vauxhall Astra H models from 2009-2010. If your vehicle is an earlier or later model, it may require a different mirror glass. Please verify compatibility for your exact year.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, this mirror glass is designed for easy stick-on installation. As long as the mounting surface is clean and ready, it can typically be installed without specialized tools.
Troubleshooting
Mirror glass won't adhere properly.
Ensure the mounting surface on the vehicle's mirror backing plate is perfectly clean, dry, and free from any debris or old adhesive residue. Re-clean the surface before attempting to attach the new glass.
The mirror glass seems to be the wrong shape.
Double-check that you have confirmed the exact model year (2009-2010) and the 'Left' placement. Compare the shape carefully to your original mirror glass. If there is a discrepancy, you may have ordered the incorrect part or your vehicle may have non-standard mirrors.
Visibility distortion is significant.
This is a convex mirror, which is designed to provide a wider view but can alter the perception of distance. Allow a few days of driving to adjust to the field of view. If the distortion remains problematic, you may need to consider a flat mirror if available for your model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before ordering, it is critical to verify that this mirror glass is compatible with your specific vehicle. Ensure your model is a Vauxhall Astra H and manufactured between 2009 and 2010. Crucially, confirm that the original wing mirror glass on the left side of your vehicle has the same shape and dimensions (approximately 17.8 x 12.3 cm) as specified. If your current mirror is not convex, or if the shape differs, this replacement may not fit correctly.
Installation:
- Clean the surface of the existing mirror backing plate thoroughly. Ensure it is free of dirt, dust, and old adhesive.
- Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive on the new wing mirror glass.
- Align the new mirror glass precisely with the edges of the backing plate.
- Gently press the new mirror glass onto the backing plate, applying even pressure to ensure a secure bond.
Care:
- Clean the mirror surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the reflective coating or adhesive.
- Ensure the mirror remains securely attached after installation. Periodically check for any signs of loosening.
