Fit System Replacement Side Mirror 1401 Oblong — Universal Fit, Lightweight Driver/Passenger

This single-piece classic oblong mirror from Fit System offers a simple, dependable replacement for damaged or missing side mirrors. Engineered for universal fit, the 1401 model brings a straightforward mounting profile and a timeless rectangular shape that complements older vehicles and custom builds. Lightweight and manufactured in Taiwan, it ships compactly and is an economical option when you need to replace a mirror quickly without custom ordering.

What vehicles will the Fit System 1401 mirror fit?

The 1401 is built as a universal-fit unit intended to accommodate many passenger cars, trucks, and vans with common mirror attachment layouts. Because it is not vehicle-specific, confirm mounting style and mirror arm compatibility before purchasing. It works best where an oblong replacement glass or housing is acceptable and the existing bracket aligns with standard mirror faces.

• Universal-fit design for common side-mirror arm attachments
• Suitable for older cars, classic restorations, and aftermarket mirror conversions
• Best if your vehicle uses a rectangular/oblong mirror face
• Measure existing mirror plate before installation to ensure fit

How easy is installation for a DIYer?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools and mirror replacement steps. The mirror’s compact size and light weight make handling simple, and it typically mounts using standard screws or a clip system depending on your vehicle’s bracket. If you’re unsure, follow your vehicle manual or use a service manual for the correct mounting procedure.

• Lightweight, easy to hold while aligning to bracket
• Mounts with common fasteners—screws or clips—on most arms
• No special tools required beyond basic screwdrivers and pliers
• Professional installation available if you prefer

Will this mirror replace a cracked or missing side mirror safely?

The 1401 will replace a cracked or missing oblong mirror face and restore basic rearward visibility; however, ensure proper secure mounting and correct orientation for safe use. While it provides functional visibility, match it to the vehicle’s mounting hardware and verify that the mirror size meets regional regulations for mirror coverage. If your original had built-in heating, electronics, or signal indicators, those features will not be present in this simple replacement glass/housing.

• Designed to restore standard rear visibility after damage or loss
• Not a direct substitute for mirrors with electrical heating or indicators
• Confirm local mirror coverage requirements before fitting
• Secure mounting prevents vibration and ensures safe sightlines

Who is this for? The Fit System 1401 is ideal for vehicle owners, restorers, and mechanics who need an affordable, universally compatible oblong side mirror for driver or passenger replacements. It’s a practical choice for classic cars, daily drivers with common mirror mountings, or anyone looking for a lightweight, easy-to-install mirror surface without integrated electronics. If you require factory-specific features like heated glass or integrated turn signals, consider a model tailored to those needs; otherwise, the 1401 provides a cost-effective, reliable replacement option.
