Wing Mirrors

[ulfilias]

Hi There,

Had a long drive over the weekend at night and the drivers side mirror is great. I don't get dazzled and it has a dark but clear look. Passengers side however is obviously a replacement and i'm guessing a cheap one as it's very bright and dazzling at night.

On looking at them in the daylight, the drivers has a plastic surround arround the actual mirror glass. The passenger one you can see the mirror edges. I'm guessing a cheap aftermarket glass.

Anyone got a source / recomendation for getting hold of a decent one ???

BTW my build code are

6XL = Exterior mirrors: with memory function, automatically dimming, electrically foldable/adjustable/heated
5SJ = Left exterior mirror: convex
6TS = Right exterior mirror: aspherical, large viewing field

Oh and I always wonder if the mirrors dip or not anyway as the rear has privacy black out on it, but there's a world of difference between the two i've got!

Don't have a source or recommendation, but the part is 4E0857535D. Maybe try TPS.

You tried a8 parts I see they have many mirror parts for sale on eBay

A8 does have an ebay listing. No mention of dipping or the letter on the end

£60 new!

We searching seems to bring up lots of different end letters, which I guess are varients?

That will not be autodimming at that price, autodimming is around £250 mark new and second hand are over £100 and very rare. I don't think dipping is related to glass at all, it's just a function in controller to turn it a bit down in reverse so that you can see kerb.

Dipping as in auto dimming...It's the same thing!

The tilt down to the curb is part of the motorised house and personally something I find rather irritating so tend to leave my swivel position knob in the centre.....Also stops you accidentally knocking a switch and messing up that "perfect" mirror setting
