High-quality heated passenger-side mirror glass by AUTOKAY replaces the original exterior mirror for Volkswagen Passat, Jetta, and Beetle (2011–2018) with a direct-fit backing plate.

If your right-side exterior mirror was cracked, foggy, or the glass lost clarity, this AUTOKAY replacement restores rearward visibility while adding a built-in heating element to clear frost and condensation faster. The unit is manufactured from durable glass bonded to a heavy-duty ABS backing plate and engineered to plug into the factory wiring, so it functions with electric mirror adjustment and heating on compatible vehicles. It’s designed as a direct replacement for model years listed, providing the same mounting pattern and connector layout as the original part.

How does the heated function improve driving in bad weather?

The integrated heating element speeds removal of ice, frost, and moisture from the mirror surface so you regain a clear view faster than with a cold glass. It works with your vehicle’s mirror heating circuit, clearing the surface without manual scraping.

• Built-in heater warms the glass to reduce fogging and icing.
• Restores visibility after rain, frost, or rapid temperature shifts.
• Operates with the vehicle’s electric mirror heating feature.
• Does not include auto-dimming, blind-spot warning, or turn-signal lights.

Is installation difficult and will it require extra tools?

Installation is straightforward because the mirror and backing plate are made to match the factory original. No special tools or soldering are required — the unit clips into the mirror housing and connects to the existing wiring harness.

• Direct-replacement backing plate aligns with factory mounting points.
• Plugs into the existing wiring harness for power and heating.
• No cutting, gluing, or professional tools typically needed.
• Recommended: confirm connector type and test functions before final reassembly.

What materials and optical features does the glass provide?

The glass uses a chrom-plated, anti-glare surface that enhances rearward visibility while resisting distortion. The backing plate is made from heavy-duty ABS to maintain shape and long-term fitment under vibration and temperature changes.

• Chrom-plated glass for reduced glare and clearer reflections.
• High-quality glass delivers accurate image and minimal distortion.
• Durable ABS backing plate keeps the mirror stable and aligned.
• Designed for long-lasting performance in everyday driving conditions.
