You Sir are an absolute star! That’s it….must’ve been replaced with a T5/T5.1 mount!? Thank you.

Everyman loves a happy ending

@T6ARF you best Google the going rate for a happy ending and pay @BuilderJay

I reckon you may have a T5 passenger door in place. Think you can’t adjust the 3 bolts that bolt the mirror on from the inside of the door. Happy to be proved wrong though.

I didnt even know they were different, to be fair VW didnt like to change much before announcing the launch on a 'new model'
Is there a part number on your door T6ARF to confirm if its a door or just a mirror ?

 

[T6ARF]

Looking and comparing a couple of mirror’s on eBay…. the three fixing points are in different places (on the mirror mount), so I’m pretty confident the door is original and maybe somebody has fitted a T5 mirror by mistake.

 

[BuilderJay]

Easy fix then

So 5.1 mirrors are higher ? Well who'd have thought it .
Wonder what the point of that was ?

Going to take a stab in the dark and say improved visibility for a LH drive!

Aerodynamics maybe when they changed the shape of the front end ?
