Which type of mirror needs to be mounted with AS3 glass?

The type of mirror that needs to be mounted with AS3 glass is the exterior mirror. This is a specific requirement because exterior mirrors are subjected to various environmental factors and potential impacts while driving, making it essential that they are durable and capable of withstanding such conditions. The AS3 designation indicates that the glass is safety glass, which is designed to shatter into smaller, less harmful pieces in the event of a collision, reducing the risk of injury. This safety feature is crucial for exterior mirrors, which are often exposed and vulnerable to accidents or contact with other vehicles and obstacles on the road.

In contrast, interior mirrors and other types of mirrors, like blind spot and convex mirrors, do not have the same stringent safety glass requirements as exterior mirrors. They may have different mounting specifications or glass types suited to their usage and placement inside the vehicle, where different safety considerations apply.
