Mirror Adjuster

[craig_the_german]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has broken the adjuster knob off for the rear view mirrors?

My wife has bumped the knob and it broke off....apparently

Has anyone else had to replace the adjuster and if so, how much was it and how big a job is it? I am assuming I'm going to have to take off the door trim etc to get to the switch....or can it be done without removing the trim?

Thanks

My mum busted hers as well.

I've broken mine twice before.

$120 ish from the dealer. The replacement may look a bit different as it includes the position to electrically fold the mirrors in (which obviously doesn't exist in Oz spec cars).

Changing it involves prying the switch off the door trim (the plastic is soft so don't wreck the trim).

Then it's a simple changeover and push the switch in.

Switch

Hi all,

just had a price from VW dealer. $65.40 for the switch without the fold back option.

Does anyone have a pic of the one from the Passat? Is it a straight swap for the golf one? if it has no knob I'd be keen to see that.

Its a common fault. About $65 is right. I have always removed the door trim to get them out so as not to damage the trim on the door.

Passat adjuster

Hi All,

I'd be keen to see what the Passat one looks like.....it appears that almost everyone here has broken at least one mirror adjuster knob so if the Passat one is different, it might be a good idea.

I guess one of us could post a question in the Passat section and see if we can get a pic, before we all rush out and buy one each.

i would take a pic if i knew which part ur talking about..

Mirror adjuster

Hi,

It appears that many of us with MK4s have an issue with breaking off the adjustment knob for the rear view mirrors. It is a small knob on the door trim where you select either left or right mirror and then use the knob as a kind of joy stick to adjust the mirror. It was mentioned earlier that the Passat B5 has a different arrangement...similar system but no knob for adjusting the mirrors.

If it was a straight swap, it might be a great fix for an obviously common fault with the Golf. If you could help, that would be great.

Thanks
