#1: Folding Mirror Author: dazw30, Location: CHELTENHAMPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:04 am ---- Hi
Newbie here, Bought a 04 plate GTi 180 last Saturday. Just wanted to know if there's a fix as the drivers mirror won't fold, the mirror glass will adjust with the switch.
Passenger mirror folds ok.
Thanks

There a right pain in the neck to take apart & get working again, trick is pack the folding motor unit with Vaseline when you rebuild it

Also had the folding control pcb burnt out on one
