TRQ Driver Side Mirror Glass Aspherical Expanded View - Direct Snap On

In this review the TRQ driver side mirror glass is evaluated for owners of 2016-2018 Honda Pilot and 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline who need a direct replacement mirror glass with an expanded aspherical view. The bottom line: this part is designed for DIY replacement and snaps onto the factory housing with a supplied backing plate, making it a good choice for someone who wants a straightforward swap and savings over dealer parts. Installation ease and fit are the biggest reasons to consider it.

Key Features

• Direct replacement: The snap on attachment and included backing plate let most users install the part without modifications or special tools.
• Aspherical expanded view: The glass is shaped to increase the field of view, reducing blind spots for highway and lane-change visibility.
• Compatibility guidance: Labeled with reference numbers HO1324149 and 76254TG7A01 for owners to confirm fitment with their vehicle before purchase.
• Complete assembly characteristics: Built as a like-for-like substitute intended to match the original mirror glass, housing interface, and bracket geometry.
• Regulatory quality: DOT certified and FMVSS-111 compliant, reflecting adherence to safety and optical standards used for exterior mirrors.

Who It's For

This replacement is aimed at Honda Pilot (2016-2018) and Ridgeline (2017-2019) owners whose driver side mirror glass has been damaged, lost, or degraded and who prefer a DIY repair rather than a dealer replacement. It suits buyers who want a part that snaps into the existing housing and includes a backing plate for a clean install.

Drivers expecting heated glass, turn signal indicators, blind spot indicators, or automatic dimming should look elsewhere, as this unit does not include those features. Also, those needing perfect OEM optical characteristics for precision-critical driving may want to compare images closely due to some reports of varied mirror quality.
