Dear all,
So my drivers side wing mirror doesn't retract and hasn't since i bought the car in feb this year. I didn't think much of it as replacement second hand parts seem plentiful and i watched an online video that made it look simple.
Well it turns out if you have the SE-L its not quite that simple. I ordered the part from eBay, correct colour, £40 and in great nick https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203317675422. So i waited for a nice sunny Saturday to do the swap and once I had carefully prized the door trim off as per the video I am greeted with a red box attached the door the instructional video didn't have with an additional plug required to make the mirror adjust that the replacement wing mirror doesn't possess.
I have done some digging and it turns out I bought a wing mirror from a car that doesn't have the seat presets facility and can only swap with another SE-L specific wing mirror with additional functionality and 2nd plug, have I read this right? if so, balls. Also the replacement wingmirror which I also suspect is off a newer car only has two leads for the heated glass and mine has 3.
Thanks
James
