What Does the APDTY 67497 Mirror Glass Replace?
The APDTY 67497 replaces only the mirror glass element on the driver-side exterior mirror of the 2006-2007 Honda Accord Hybrid. It does not include the backing plate, mirror housing, or power adjustment motors—just the glass pane itself with the built-in heating grid. This part is designed to snap or adhesive-mount into your existing mirror assembly, replacing Honda OE part number 76253SEAC42.
The integrated heating element connects to your vehicle's defrost system to melt ice and condensation, maintaining visibility in cold or wet conditions. If your original mirror glass is cracked, shattered, or the heater no longer works, this replacement restores both the reflective surface and the defrost capability.
Which Vehicles Does APDTY 67497 Fit?
According to verified product data, APDTY 67497 is compatible with:
- 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid (driver side)
- 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid (driver side)
This part is specific to the Accord Hybrid model and is intended for the left (driver) side mirror only. It will not fit standard gasoline Accord models from these years, nor will it fit the passenger side. Always verify your vehicle year, model, and mirror side before ordering. If you have a different Accord trim or year, check the live compatibility chart on APDTY.com to find the correct part number.
What Are the Signs You Need New Mirror Glass?
Common symptoms that indicate you need to replace your driver-side mirror glass include:
- Cracked or shattered glass: Physical damage from road debris, parking lot impacts, or weather
- Missing or detached glass: The mirror pane has fallen out or become loose from the backing plate
- Heater not working: Mirror stays fogged or iced over even when defrost is activated
- Distorted reflection: Warped or scratched glass that impairs visibility
- Water intrusion behind glass: Condensation or moisture trapped under the mirror surface
Replacing just the glass is a cost-effective repair compared to replacing the entire mirror assembly, especially when the housing, motors, and wiring are still functional.

How to Install Side View Mirror Glass (General Overview)
Replacing mirror glass is typically a straightforward DIY job, though care is required to avoid injury or damage to the mirror assembly. General steps include:
- Disconnect the battery: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on heated mirrors to prevent short circuits.
- Remove the old glass: Carefully pry or unclip the damaged glass from the backing plate. Some mirrors use clips, others use adhesive. Wear gloves and eye protection.
- Disconnect the heater connector (if accessible): Unplug the wiring harness for the heating element if it's a separate connector.
- Prepare the new glass: If the new glass uses adhesive pads, remove the protective backing. If it's a clip-in design, align the clips with the backing plate.
- Install the new glass: Press firmly into place or snap the clips until secure. Reconnect the heater harness if applicable.
- Test function: Reconnect the battery, start the vehicle, and test the mirror heater with the defrost system to confirm proper operation.
Consult a Honda service manual or online video tutorial for model-specific instructions. If you're uncomfortable with the procedure, have a professional technician perform the installation.
