Mixed Feelings on This Mirror Frame Replacement - lifeclear

 This post is part of my activities with AliExpress, and I may receive a commission for purchases made through links in this content.

I recently picked up the Car Accessories Reversing Mirror Frame Reversing Mirror Cover For Nissan X-trail 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Left/Right hoping to refresh the look of my vehicle's side mirror. Replacing damaged trim pieces is always a satisfying DIY task, and I was eager to see how this specific cover would fit my X-trail. The look of the product itself seemed promising upon unboxing, matching the OEM style I was aiming for.

However, my installation experience was surprisingly difficult. While I was expecting a snap-in fit based on the description covering several model years, getting this specific reversing mirror cover to align correctly proved tricky. It felt like the tolerances were slightly off for my model year.

I should mention that other buyers seem to feel similarly, as I saw one comment stating the item didn't fit their car, which unfortunately mirrors my own situation to an extent.

I really wanted this to be a perfect, quick upgrade. The material felt durable enough, and the finish looked factory-grade, which are definite pros if you manage to get the fit right. But the main function of any replacement trim piece is the fit, and unfortunately, this is where the Car Accessories Reversing Mirror Frame fell short for me during initial mounting.

If you own a Nissan X-trail within that wide range of years (2014-2020), you might want to proceed with caution or perhaps verify seller measurements, as fitment appears to be an inconsistent factor. For me, the hassle of trying to force the alignment wasn't worth the final result, given the inconsistency noted by other users.

Ultimately, while the appearance of the Car Accessories Reversing Mirror Frame Reversing Mirror Cover looked great, the critical factor of precise fitment wasn't met in my case. Proceed carefully if you're looking for a guaranteed, hassle-free replacement for your side mirror trim.
