electric mirrors
« on: 20 January 2004, 19:33 »
got myself my passenger's side mirror, switch and loom today from the scrapper for ?15. I ripped out the dead mk2's dash so I could remove the loom in 1 peice and didn't have to cut it at all.

Is it possible to remove the motor part of the mech from the mirror and put it in a manual mirror as the ones on my car are colour coded and the electric ones are not?

I shall beginning wiring them up when the driver's side mirror shows up.

the switch goes in the hole the adjuster leaves on the drivers side. a grommet goes in the other side...

aparently all proper mirrors are heated. I didn't know that until someone just said.

right. the actual mirror pulls off. I've been told to be carefull when doing this...

then there's 4 screws to remove the motor part. the 4 wires just push into the back of the motors. this is lablled so you don't wire them up wrong when  you put them into the new shells.

There's another 4 screws that bolt the metal to the shell. you dont' need to undo these I don't think. Then I'm hoping it the same for the manual mirrors. it's a bit late to go working on the car outside now.

I've had a look on my Driver and the mirror shells LOOK identical, but without actually trying it I cant tell, I'll need to do the same as you on one of me mirrors cos one of the leccy ones I have has all the mounting screws broken off the mirror shell.  I got my set with most of the loom for ?35, it pays to look thru all the Golf classifieds :D
