The mirror assembly in the automotive industry is the process of assembling side mirrors, which involves various components such as the mirror glass, mirror housing, drive motor, cables, and adjustment system.

This assembly process requires high precision to ensure that each component functions properly and meets strict quality standards, resulting in reliable and safe mirrors for use in various road conditions.

The common problems in mirror assembly and their solutions are explained below.

Mirror Problem: Incompatible Grease with Material

This problem can cause material degradation, such as plastic or rubber, used in the mirror’s drive mechanism, leading to reduced functionality and lifespan of the mirror. Symptoms of incompatibility include hardening of the lubricant, cracking of plastic components, or loss of elasticity in rubber, among others.

The solution to this issue includes selecting grease that matches the material specifications of the mirror components and thoroughly testing material compatibility before the assembly process.
