Complete Exterior and Interior Mirror Package
A remote driver-side mirror requires components on both sides of the door.
The exterior assembly consists of:
- Mirror housing and glass
- Remote-adjustment cable
- Mirror mounting bracket
- Mirror-to-door gasket
- Exterior mounting screws
The interior control installation consists of:
- Remote-control bezel
- Reinforcement bracket
- Retaining clip
- Bezel mounting screws
Combining all three OER part numbers provides a more complete solution for vehicles with missing, damaged, mismatched or incomplete original mirror components.
Remote-Adjustment System
The mirror assembly includes a preinstalled mechanical remote-control cable. The cable connects the exterior mirror mechanism to the control located on the interior driver-side door panel.
Moving the interior control changes the angle of the mirror glass without requiring the driver to reach outside the vehicle.
The factory-style swivel mechanism is designed to provide horizontal and vertical mirror adjustment when the cable is routed and secured correctly.
Avoid twisting, crushing or sharply bending the remote cable. Cable damage or incorrect routing can restrict the mirror’s movement.
Interior Remote-Control Bezel
OER part #3921833 installs on the inner driver-side door panel and supports the remote mirror control.
The bezel features a textured pebble-grain chrome finish designed to reproduce the factory appearance. Its reinforcement bracket and retaining clip secure the remote-control assembly behind the door panel.
The bezel set includes:
- Chrome remote-control bezel
- Reinforcement bracket
- Retaining clip
- Mounting screws
This component is more than a decorative trim piece. It supports and aligns the remote mirror control so it can operate properly without pulling against the door panel.
Primered Finish Ready for Paint
The exterior mirror housing arrives in primer and is not supplied in a finished body color.
Before painting:
- Inspect the housing and primer for damage.
- Test-fit the mirror, bracket and gasket against the door.
- Confirm the remote cable reaches the interior control location.
- Test-fit the bezel and reinforcement bracket.
- Clean the housing with a product compatible with the chosen paint system.
- Scuff, seal or re-prime the surface as required.
- Apply the appropriate exterior finish.
- Allow the finish to cure completely before final installation.
Professional paint preparation and finishing are recommended. Final color match depends on the paint materials, application process and condition of the vehicle’s existing finish.
Do not paint or permanently modify the mirror until the complete package has been test-fitted.
Restoration Uses
This complete package is suitable for:
- Replacing a missing driver-side sport mirror
- Replacing a damaged or corroded mirror housing
- Replacing scratched, cloudy or broken mirror glass
- Replacing a seized or damaged remote mechanism
- Replacing a kinked or broken remote-control cable
- Replacing a missing mirror mounting bracket
- Replacing a damaged mirror-to-door gasket
- Replacing a missing remote-control bezel
- Replacing an incorrect interior mirror-control plate

Installation Notes
Remove the interior door panel carefully and retain any original components needed for reference.
Before final installation:
- Compare the replacement mirror and components with the original parts.
- Confirm that the exterior bracket aligns with the factory door location.
- Position the mirror-to-door gasket evenly against the painted surface.
- Route the remote cable through the factory opening.
- Avoid tight bends, twists and pinch points in the cable.
- Test-fit the interior reinforcement bracket.
- Install the retaining clip and remote-control bezel.
- Verify that the cable moves freely.
- Operate the remote control through its full adjustment range.
- Confirm that the mirror glass responds correctly.
- Tighten the mounting points evenly.
- Reinstall the interior door panel after completing the operational test.
Do not overtighten the exterior mirror or interior bezel. Excessive pressure can damage the door, gasket, mirror housing, bezel or door panel.
If the vehicle was not originally equipped with a remote bullet mirror, additional door and door-panel modifications may be required. Confirm the factory locations before drilling or cutting.
