Make sure you buy one which has the wiring but I can't see why you shouldn't be able to use your old 'internals' if still in tact :dont know:

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, My drivers side wing mirror took a knock today and needs replacing, can anyone advise on how to do this? Mine is a Gen 2 car with electric movement, heated & with memory settings. The ones I've seen for sale so far seem to have less wires in them. The coloured shell seems ok so would it be possible to swap all my parts over to a replacement bare metal frame section?

POST 2Original post

It's easy! 3 screws from the inside, pop off the plastic cover and they are there. Unplug the electrics and remove :thumbs: Make sure you buy one which has the wiring but I can't see why you shouldn't be able to use your old 'internals' if still in tact :dont know: :thumb:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, The removal of mirror assembly seems easy, it's more the swapping over of the internsls and coloured cover to a replacement base/frame if I can't get an exact replacement.

POST 4Original post

There doesnt seem to be much left to swop over , youll need the base frame part at least . Basically pop out the mirror glass , plastic wedge .. a few screws that hold the motor in place , easy enough to see .. remove the motor and you can see the screws that hold the caseing to the main frame . Covers are held with screws and a couple of clips from memory .. main frame slides out . Basically get the glass off , the motor off and its pretty obvious .
