Dependable Direct Left Driver Side Unpainted Power Folding Mirror

In this review of the Dependable Direct left driver side mirror replacement, the bottom line is clear: this part is for owners of US or Mexico built Honda Accord sedans (2003-2007) who need a cost-effective, direct-fit mirror that restores appearance and function without extra frills. The single biggest reason to buy is the precise OE-compatible fit and matching paint-to-match finish that lets owners replace a damaged mirror quickly and get back on the road with a unit that looks and functions like the original.

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement: Designed to match OE reference numbers so it bolts onto the driver side with the expected alignment and mounting points for a straightforward swap.
• Paint to match finish: The unpainted unit accepts a factory-matching coat so the repaired side blends visually with the rest of the vehicle.
• Power operation: Power adjustment maintains the convenience of in-cab mirror positioning without needing manual mirror hardware modifications.
• Manual folding: Manual folding keeps the mirror simple and avoids extra motorized folding mechanisms that can fail or cost more.
• Durable plastic base: A plastic base provides corrosion resistance and keeps weight down while offering the expected mounting durability for exterior trim.
• OE cross-reference: Replaces Partslink HO1320152 and OE numbers 76200-SDA-A11/A13/SDC-A11 to help ensure correct vehicle compatibility.

Who It's For

This mirror is best for Honda Accord sedan owners from model years 2003 through 2007 built in the US or Mexico who need a like-for-like driver side replacement with power adjustment and a paint-to-match option. It suits DIY installers and independent shops that prefer parts with OE cross-reference numbers to confirm compatibility before installation.

Owners who require heated glass, automatic folding, integrated turn signals, or trim-specific features not listed for this part should look elsewhere for a mirror that includes those functions. Also consider a pre-painted unit if you do not plan to have the mirror painted before installation.
