21872616 mirror arm cover – Description

21872616 mirror arm cover is an OE-referenced mirror system cover designed to fit trucks compatible with VOLVO, used to protect the mirror arm housing and keep the mirror area secure and tidy after minor impacts, cover loss, or long-term weathering. Primary OE reference: 21872616, with cross reference 20425993. Packing weight: 0.10 kg, packing: 1 pc per box, pallet quantity: 0. Fitment should be confirmed by OE reference and mounting configuration before ordering.

For accurate selection, compare the removed cover to the new part by outline, clip locations, and contact faces. A correct match seats flush with uniform edge contact and helps reduce rattling under vibration, which is especially important during long-haul route operation and frequent depot maneuvering. Keeping the mirror arm housing protected can also help prevent moisture and debris from building up around interfaces.

The 21872616 mirror arm cover is typically managed as a fast-moving service item because mirror-area damage and cover loss are common during daily operation. Workshop best practice is to clean the mounting area, confirm clip engagement evenly, then do a short road check for noise and stability. Using OE-based picking reduces mis-issues when multiple mirror system variants exist across the same fleet platform family.

For inventory control, label bins with 21872616 and list 20425993 as a cross reference in your ERP notes. This supports consistent warehouse picking and faster turnaround for mirror repairs. If your fleet operates multiple cab configurations, verify the mounting configuration before installation to ensure the 21872616 mirror arm cover variant matches the mirror arm housing on the vehicle.
