Golf mk7 / Re: Wing mirror
« Last post by SRGTD on Today at 18:26 »Well I tried Guzzle's idea and the mirror dipped when I put it in reverse. Unfortunately, it wouldn't go back up to its normal position - it stayed in the dipped position until I adjusted it manually.
Any suggestions please?
Did you try driving forward with the door mirror glass in the dipped position? It should return to the normal (non-dipped) position when you drove forward and reach a speed of somewhere between 5-10 mph (can’t remember the exact speed).

« Last post by Adam T7 on Today at 16:53 »I get it from the same location but it's the black plastic trim on the outside, between the front and rear side windows. Creaks and squeaks right by your ear definitely get on your nerves!
Popped home at lunchtime, moving seat belt didn’t work and the external trim seems secure. It’s actually worse when it’s dry and warm, so I’m thinking the seals (even though they were lubed but the outer seals on the rear edge of the drivers door seemed dry. I use wash and wax a lot and wax the car after every wash, I recall years back when I had a BMW that had a similar rattle that the BMW Regional Tech Manager told me wash and wax wasn’t great for rubber seals so maybe that’s the answer. I’ll get the Gummi Pfledge out again tonight and do a more thorough job.

« Last post by Adam T7 on Today at 16:47 »Just buy a proper one without issues
Wise words. There’s always a bit of the unknown buying second hand unless you know the owner etc. Buying an insurance w/o or damaged pushes the risk further. Bite the bullet, you won’t regret it.
