Title: DAM DOOR MIRROR THIEF !!!!!!
Post by: bennyboy on 20 October 2007, 23:04

 :angry: well me and the mrs went shopping tonight at about 9pm at my local asda and when i was driving home i noticed that some dam thief has carefully taken off my drivers door heated mirror. :cry: there seems to be no damage done to the housing aroung it .( at least he/she was careful ).
So can any of you help me out what kind a cost am i looking at from a dealer and how hard is it to re fit a new one.

not sure, wont be cheap due to having heated/tinted? element mirrors, and if it was easily taken without damage will mean its easy peasy to refit one normally.

If it's anything like my old corsa :embarassed: then you just clip the mirror part back in - there were spade connectors going onto the back of the mirror for the heated bits
