Thank you so much for this video. Just finished a job on my passenger wing mirror today and really happy with it and your video really helped. I got some great little wire connectors with solder and shrink wrap that you connect using a lighter. Never joined wires before and that made it very easy and was amazed that everything worked when I’d finished!

The heated mirror cable as lugs on the mirror side, so just unplug it there instead of cutting it off

Thanks for making this video. I had to replace this part after a tree jumped out and knocked my passenger side mirror off. Great advice and pretty straight forward to do if you have the confidence. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks so much for posting this video. Just done my driver side fix. The tie wrap tip was very useful along with the help of a vice. Also I used pliers to disconnect the heated mirror connectors so no soldering required. Cheers!

Thank you so much for making this video. It really gave me the confidence to do it myself and avoid the hassle and bill of taking to a garage. As others have mentioned, I have an aerial in the passenger side wing mirror so that coax cable broke and I was unable to re-solder. However, I think there is another aerial in the driver side door on my T5.1 as (so far) reception on FM has been fine. Also agree the cable tie tip is genius! Like you removing and re-assembling the two covers was the worst part and managed to break a couple of the (very flimsy) lugs but seems OK anyway.

Just did mine now. Very helpful video thanks.

Thanks for the great video! Followed your instructions on my T5 and it worked out just fine.

Great video. This process is pretty much the same for a T6 wing mirror as well. If you have the DAB antenna in the wing mirror you will need to remove the door card to disconnect it as well. Worth the struggle. Zip tie trick works a treat. Thanks.

great attempt and easy to follow, the cardboard box to rest on and the cable ties trick are the best tips, thanks from Australia

[@andrewramskill5271]

Great video, very clear with great tips. Thank you

[@wiz8931]

Thank you very much, zip tie trick worked perfectly

[@user-zc9rf6eo6b]

Brilliant video. Successfully copied and wing mirror replaced. Cable tie spring compression was pure genius. Once it was out, I put it in a vice to get two ties on it.

Thanks for this video ☺️ don't think I could have done it without again the idea with the spring paid off brilliant thanks

[@JBSeymour]

very helpful video. Always good to see how someone else did it thank you. Mapped or Routed the cables 😁

[@robertmorris4784]

Thanks mate, very helpful. Liked and subscribed.

[@Erictheaviator]

Thanks for your video. a really expensive repair if I had taken it to VW.

[@shalveenlawrence2733]

Ordering my part from ebay and thanks to this video ill do it myself.

[@MrJustinhumphrey]

Perfect! Thank you for this post. Need to do mine and is more involved than I had first thought. Brilliant commentary too! :) Ha!

Cheers for the Video. RAC man said I would need to replace wing mirror £200 !! £13 bracket Amazon 1 hour later sorted. Tie Wraps on spring very clever.

[@johnhowell6182]

Thanks for that, very helpful. Mine also had the antenna for the DAB and GPS in it which was an added complication - they have to be disconnected from inside the van- don’t cut them! They are coaxial and not easy to splice!
