What Does the APDTY 67877 Mirror Glass Replace?
The APDTY 67877 replaces only the mirror glass element and backing plate on the left (driver) side exterior mirror of your Mitsubishi Outlander. When your mirror glass is cracked, shattered, or missing—but the mirror housing, motor, and mounting bracket are still intact—this replacement glass lets you restore function without the expense of a complete mirror assembly.
This part includes the heated glass element and plastic backing plate, making it a complete drop-in solution. It cross-references to Mitsubishi OEM part number 7632A221, ensuring proper fit and electrical compatibility with your vehicle's factory heated mirror circuit.
Which Vehicles Does APDTY 67877 Fit?
According to verified fitment data, APDTY 67877 is compatible with the following:
- 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander (Left/Driver side, heated mirrors)
- 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander (Left/Driver side, heated mirrors)
- 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander (Left/Driver side, heated mirrors)
- 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander (Left/Driver side, heated mirrors)
This part is designed specifically for models equipped with heated side mirrors. If your Outlander does not have the heated mirror option, this glass will physically fit but the heating element will not function. Always verify your vehicle's mirror configuration and check the live compatibility chart on the APDTY product page to confirm exact fitment for your VIN before ordering.
What Are the Symptoms of Damaged Mirror Glass?
Common signs that indicate you need to replace your side view mirror glass include:
- Cracked or shattered glass: Impact from road debris, vandalism, or parking lot incidents can fracture the mirror surface.
- Missing glass: The mirror element may detach completely, leaving only the backing plate or empty housing.
- Cloudy or discolored reflective coating: Environmental exposure can degrade the reflective layer, reducing visibility.
- Non-functional heater: If the heating element is damaged, the mirror will not defrost in cold weather, creating a safety hazard.
- Distorted reflection: Warped or separating glass layers produce inaccurate images, making lane changes and parking dangerous.
Replacing the glass promptly restores critical rear and side visibility, improving safety and ensuring compliance with vehicle equipment regulations in most jurisdictions.

How to Install Side View Mirror Replacement Glass
Replacing the mirror glass on a 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander typically requires basic hand tools and takes 15-30 minutes. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for model-specific procedures. General steps include:
- Disconnect the battery: Prevent accidental short circuits, especially when working with heated mirror wiring.
- Remove the old glass: Carefully pry the damaged glass away from the backing plate or housing. Some designs use spring clips; others rely on adhesive. Wear gloves and eye protection.
- Disconnect the heater connector: Unplug the small electrical connector from the back of the glass or backing plate.
- Clean the mounting surface: Remove old adhesive residue and debris from the mirror housing to ensure proper bond.
- Connect the new heater plug: Attach the wiring connector to the new APDTY 67877 glass.
- Install the new glass: Align the backing plate with the housing clips or apply fresh automotive mirror adhesive (if required). Press firmly and hold for the recommended cure time.
- Reconnect the battery and test: Verify that the mirror adjusts properly and that the heater activates when the rear defroster is turned on.
If your mirror housing is damaged or the adjustment mechanism is broken, you may need additional parts or a complete mirror assembly. This glass replacement is ideal when only the reflective element is compromised.

Frequently asked questions
Does APDTY 67877 work on the right (passenger) side mirror?
No, APDTY 67877 is designed exclusively for the left (driver) side mirror. The glass shape, curvature, and heater connector orientation are side-specific. You will need a separate right-side part if both mirrors require replacement.
Can I install this glass if my Outlander does not have heated mirrors?
The glass will physically fit, but the heating element will not function without the factory heated mirror wiring and switch. If your vehicle lacks heated mirrors, consider a non-heated replacement glass to avoid paying for an unused feature.
What if my mirror housing or adjustment motor is also damaged?
APDTY 67877 replaces only the glass and backing plate. If the mirror housing is cracked, the adjustment motor is seized, or mounting brackets are broken, you may need additional parts or a complete mirror assembly to restore full function.
How do I know if my mirror glass uses adhesive or clips?
Most 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander mirrors use a combination of clips and light adhesive. Gently prying the old glass will reveal the attachment method. If clips are present, the new glass snaps into place; if adhesive is primary, you may need automotive mirror adhesive available at auto parts retailers.
When your 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander's driver-side mirror glass is cracked or missing, APDTY 67877 delivers a cost-effective, OEM-quality replacement that restores visibility and heated defrost function in minutes. With its integrated heating element, durable plastic backing, and direct-fit design for OEM part number 7632A221, this mirror glass offers professional results without the expense of a complete assembly.
