Re: inner plastic bit in door mirrors

No not the bit the glass sticks to,the bit which goes which goes around the inside of the mirror which sits behind the glass to stop water getting in,if that makes sense?

inner plastic bit in door mirrors

Hi all, on a b5 door mirror just behind the glass there is a inner black plastic surround that stops water getting behind the glass etc,is this part replaceable as I broke it trying to replace the glass as the heater element burnt out?
Many thanks

Re: window clamp

Yep the cable has broke and I can move the glass by hand down about half an inch but it then goes solid and the clamps are still not vissable,perhaps I need to try and move it bit harder with another pair of hands. Thanks for all of the above replies its so frustrating when things don't go right lol.

Re: window clamp

The two large grommets ive removed but the clamps are about 2" to high to allow a socket in there hence why I need the window to come down a bit.

Ive changed the fluid as the old fluid was black and that has made a difference but still feels a bit spongy if that makes sense. Ive checked the discs they seemed to be a bit glazed...
