Regarding replacement mirrors, which statement is true?

• A. Replacement mirrors may be shipped with an adhesive tape on the backside
• B. Replacement mirrors may require applying adhesive to the back-side
• C. Replacement mirrors do not require adhesive
• D. Replacement mirrors may be shipped with an adhesive tape on the backside and may require applying adhesive

Answer: (D)

Replacement mirrors can be set up in different ways depending on the design. Some come with an adhesive tape already attached to the back, which allows a quick and clean mounting onto the vehicle. Others require you to apply adhesive to the back surface as part of the installation to ensure a secure, weather-tight bond. In many cases, a kit may include both options or instructions indicating that adhesive may be needed in addition to the pre-applied tape, depending on the mounting surface and vehicle. This variability is why the statement that mirrors may be shipped with adhesive tape on the backside and may require applying adhesive is the most accurate reflection of real-world practice.
