Thanks, yeah I've read most of the wing mirror threads, including that one but can't find a definite yes or no.

Quoted £270 by local VW dealer for replacement off side mirror plus £100 fitting for my 2016 Highline T6 to include painted top cover.
Took a punt on some new T6.1 Startline units on ebay. Off a new van from a conversion company. Presumably fitting auto fold mirrors as part of build.
All plugs are correct.
Just need some pretty stick on covers now.
Very pleased.View attachment 88388View attachment 88388View attachment 88389
Replaced both (other was already damaged when I bought the T6) for rather less than 1x new from VW.
Just make sure that you have some replacement door card clips as some will inevitability break taking off the door cards.

Got a link to the door card clips? I may need some just in case.

I'm having a bit of a nightmare

Second one I've knocked- this replacement bushing from amazon has only 4 holes and I can only line up two screw holes- not three as previously with a Travelin Lite one.

Is this an issue?

Having had a coming together i needed to replace drivers side wing mirror on my 2019 T6. Replacement looks the same but has just one single loom old unit has loom but 3 more wires (pic attached) and supplier insists this is a direct replacement. Im missing something please can anyone help?


Cheers,
Martin

Those are likely antenna wires, I think they detach form the antenna mounted inside the mirror so they wouldn't be on the new one.

Thank you. So that would mean taking apart the new wing mirror. You would think they would include all wiring in replacement unit. Appreciate your feedback . Cheers!
