Dongfeng VL truck parts Interior rearview mirror assembly 8201050-C0150

Equipped with a high-transparency optical glass mirror (240mm×80mm effective viewing area), the assembly provides a 120° horizontal field of view—covering the entire rear of the VL truck (including trailer blind spots for 12m+ cargo trailers). The glass uses an anti-glare coating (transmittance 85% for visible light, 30% for glare) that reduces nighttime headlight glare from following vehicles by 60%, preventing driver eye fatigue. The mirror surface is polished to a flat finish (distortion ≤0.5%) to ensure accurate distance perception of rear vehicles, critical for safe lane changes or reversing during heavy-duty hauling. Unlike curved mirrors that cause image distortion, this flat-glass design maintains visual accuracy while maximizing coverage of the VL’s rear surroundings

The mirror housing is crafted from high-impact ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) with 10% glass fiber reinforcement, delivering a flexural strength of 80 MPa to resist cracking from accidental impacts (e.g., cargo loading near the cab). The mounting bracket is made of 304 stainless steel (1.5mm thickness) with a tensile strength of 515 MPa, resisting rust and corrosion from cab humidity or cleaning agents. The internal adjustment mechanism uses a brass gear system (wear resistance ≥5,000 adjustment cycles) to maintain smooth movement without loosening over time. Unlike plastic brackets that break easily, this stainless steel-ABS combination ensures the assembly retains functionality for over 500,000 km of use—matching the VL’s service life

Engineered to maintain visibility in harsh driving conditions, the assembly includes two key protective features. First, a rubber damping gasket (EPDM material) between the mounting bracket and mirror housing absorbs 40% of cab vibration, keeping the mirror image stable even on rough terrain (e.g., construction sites or unpaved roads). Second, the mirror glass is treated with an anti-fog coating (hydrophobic silica-based) that prevents condensation buildup in humid environments (e.g., rainy weather or cab air conditioning use). Testing confirms the anti-fog coating remains effective for 3,000+ wipe cycles, ensuring clear rear vision without frequent cleaning—critical for safe driving in low-visibility conditions

Designed for driver convenience and quick maintenance, the assembly features tool-free adjustment and simple installation. The mirror head supports 360° swivel adjustment (horizontal and vertical) via a manual lever—allowing drivers to fine-tune the viewing angle without tools, even while seated. Installation takes 5–10 minutes: align the mounting bracket with the VL’s windshield thread, screw the mirror into place (hand-tightened to 8 N·m torque), and adjust the angle to match the driver’s line of sight. The package includes a spare rubber gasket and a small cleaning cloth for mirror maintenance. Each unit undergoes vibration testing (200Hz for 1,000 cycles), anti-glare performance checks, and dimensional inspection, backed by a 12-month warranty against defects (e.g., housing cracking, mirror glass breakage, adjustment mechanism failure)
