Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Upgraded Version
Clip-On Mirror Replacement Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Upgraded Version
This is a worked specification for clip-on mirror replacement in a upgraded version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The upgraded version version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.

- surface grinding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run upgraded version most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include long-haul trucks, aftermarket retail, courier fleets, delivery vans, trailer axles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
