Description

Overview

Britax 16in Flat Glass West Coast Mirror Head is a replacement mirror head designed for West Coast style mirror setups used on heavy vehicles. It provides a clear, flat view for reversing, lane control, and general road awareness. Because mirror condition affects what the driver can see, this mirror head suits maintenance replacement where the housing or glass has been damaged.

Features

This mirror head uses a flat glass face for true-to-distance viewing, so it helps with judging gaps and trailer alignment. The West Coast style head format also suits common commercial mirror brackets, which keeps changeover simple. Key features include:

• 16in x 6in West Coast style mirror head format
• Flat glass for accurate distance perception
• Corrosion resistant steel housing for durability
• Extrusion-style glass retention for secure fit

Specifications and Materials

Britax 16in Flat Glass West Coast Mirror Head uses flat glass and a steel housing intended for commercial vehicle service.
Part number: CA5184.
See the manufacturer specifications page for West Coast style mirror heads for general product guidance.
The mirror head size is 16in x 6in, and the housing profile is low so it can sit neatly on typical West Coast brackets.

Compatibility and Fitment

This mirror head suits most truck applications that use a 16in x 6in West Coast style head. Before fitting, confirm your existing bracket matches the head style and clamping method, because different brackets use different retention points. If your current mirror uses a marker light or a different lens type, then confirm the replacement configuration before ordering. Britax 16in Flat Glass West Coast Mirror Head is intended as the head only, so brackets and arms are typically supplied separately.

Compliance and Safety

Mirrors are a safety critical item, so replace cracked glass and loose housings straight away to reduce blind spots. After installation, adjust the mirror to give a consistent view down the vehicle side, and then re-check fasteners after the first run because vibration can settle hardware. Also keep the glass clean, since grime and road film reduce clarity at night and in wet conditions.

Trailer Applications

Use this mirror head on prime movers and rigid trucks that regularly tow trailers, because a stable flat mirror helps with coupling checks, reversing to docks, and monitoring trailer tracking. It also suits fleet maintenance where West Coast mirrors are standardised across multiple units, which helps simplify spares holding. Britax 16in Flat Glass West Coast Mirror Head can support day-to-day yard work as well as linehaul conditions when the mirror system is kept tight and correctly aligned.
