Is it necessary to repair a scratched rearview mirror?

It is necessary to repair. If it's just a minor scratch, there's no need to repair it immediately. You can have it fixed for free by the workers when other parts of the car need repainting. However, if the scratch is severe, it should be repaired based on the actual situation. Notes: 1. The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. 2. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction.
The side mirror got scratched, and I always feel uneasy while driving. This is a safety concern. The side mirror helps me check blind spots and monitor traffic flow. Deep scratches can blur vision at night, making it easy to make mistakes when turning. It's recommended to fix it as soon as possible. For minor scratches, you can go to an auto repair shop for polishing or replacing the mirror lens, which only costs a couple hundred yuan. Don't risk big losses for small savings—avoid accidents on the road whenever possible. After fixing it, driving feels much more secure. Develop a habit of checking the side mirrors for scratches when parking, and avoid hitting objects while reversing in narrow spaces. Even an old car needs to be kept safe. My advice is to schedule regular maintenance and have the technician check these small issues to prevent them from becoming major problems later.
