manual > electric mirrors

[Matty.]

looking at upgrading my mirrors from my manual ones to heated/electric ones

how hard is it to do?
what parts are needed?
where do i get the parts?


im guessing obviously the mirrors and a new bit for on my door to control them, but is there anything else needing done etc?

there is a lot you need to change, especialy if you want the fold in ones like the SE has . When I changed my window regulator the motor for that had to be changed with my old one as it had wiring in for the fold in. TBH its gona be a lot of money for a wing mirror

found the wing mirrors for £49 each side on ebay

just dont know what else is needed and if its worth it?

I can see the electric ones for £65.99 on ebay. The £49 ones are cable operated.

Mine are electric in that the mirror move electornically. I don't think they are heated and definitely dont fold in automatically I really want the foldable ones.

^^ sweet. So you can proabbly just replace the switch and mirrors. Does the foldable-mirror switch have another setting to park them?

does anyone know if its possible to wire/program it so they fold in everytime you switch off?

just like you can put the windows up/down after you switch off but key is still in

would be great if this is possible

you will need to replace the motor thing it plugs into as well matey. to fold them in you turn them to the opposite side of heated swtich.

how difficult would that be to do?

is it just a motor built into the door?


would probably be easier trying to find a breaking ibiza with them already fitted, would be hard to source a motor for it to work
