Does replacing the rearview mirror at a 4S store require painting?
1 Answers
Replacing the rearview mirror at a 4S store requires painting. Reasons for painting: The original rearview mirror is colorless and needs to be painted to match the car body's paint surface. It usually takes 2 days to dry completely. Purpose of painting: After driving for a period of time, the original car paint will fade. Some manufacturers provide rearview mirrors with the original car paint, while others do not. Installing an unpainted mirror will result in a color difference with the car's paint, affecting aesthetics. Therefore, painting is required upon arrival. Replacing a rearview mirror will not affect the future sale of the car as a used vehicle. Generally, factors that impact the resale value of a used car include body repairs, paintwork, or major modifications to the chassis or frame.
