What Is the APDTY 67911 Mirror Glass?
The APDTY 67911 is a replacement side view mirror glass designed specifically for the left (driver-side) exterior mirror on 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara vehicles. This glass-only replacement includes a plastic backing plate that bonds directly to the mirror adjustment mechanism inside your existing housing.
Unlike heated mirror glass, this is a non-heated design intended for vehicles not equipped with mirror defrost systems. The glass is engineered to match OE specifications for curvature, thickness, and mounting configuration, ensuring proper fit and optical clarity.
This part eliminates the need to replace the entire mirror assembly when only the glass is damaged—a common scenario after impacts from road debris, parking lot contact, or vandalism.
Which Vehicles Does APDTY 67911 Fit?
Based on verified product data, the APDTY 67911 mirror glass is compatible with:
- 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara (driver-side, non-heated mirrors only)
This fitment applies to Grand Vitara models equipped with non-heated side mirrors. If your vehicle has heated mirrors (defrost feature), this glass will not include heating elements and is not the correct replacement.
Important: Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle year and mirror type before ordering. Check the live compatibility chart on the product page or contact APDTY support to confirm your vehicle's mirror configuration matches this part.
What Are the Signs You Need Mirror Glass Replacement?
Common symptoms that indicate you need to replace your driver-side mirror glass include:
- Cracked or shattered glass: Visible damage from impacts, accidents, or vandalism
- Missing glass: Glass has detached or fallen out completely from the backing plate
- Distorted reflection: Warped or separated glass layers causing unclear images
- Loose or rattling glass: Adhesive failure allowing movement within the housing
- Water intrusion: Moisture trapped behind damaged glass causing fogging or discoloration
Driving with damaged or missing mirror glass creates dangerous blind spots and may violate vehicle safety regulations in many jurisdictions. Replacing the glass restores full visibility for lane changes, parking, and merging.

Frequently asked questions
Does the APDTY 67911 include heating elements for defrost?
No, this is a non-heated mirror glass designed for Suzuki Grand Vitara models without heated mirror defrost. If your vehicle has heated mirrors, you need a different part with heating elements.
Can I use this glass on the passenger side mirror?
No, the APDTY 67911 is specifically designed for the left (driver-side) mirror only. Mirror glass curvature and mounting configuration differ between driver and passenger sides.
Do I need to replace the entire mirror assembly if just the glass is broken?

Most installations require only basic hand tools like a flathead screwdriver or plastic trim tool for prying, plus protective gloves and safety glasses. Some mirror designs may require a Phillips screwdriver to access internal clips.
The APDTY 67911 replacement mirror glass provides a cost-effective, direct-fit solution for restoring driver-side visibility on 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara models with non-heated mirrors.
