Hi Pauly, I just knocked mine and it broke on those three bolts. I've spoke VW here in NZ and they tell me that the part is a whole. Part one in your diagram I believe. I am finding what must be third party parts with a number of 7E1857000 all over ebay. They look like the correct thing and are considerably cheaper. Has anyone every fitted one?

Snapped mine yesterday and trying to remove it now (metal bit broke) Do the wires disconnect outside or do I have to remove the door card? Thanks in advance
You also need to prise the trim panel off the front of the inside door handle with a trim tool, there are 2 torx screws underneath

me too today and it was t5 parked buy me just ordered a bracket thanks hope it will work all mirror works and looks fine .thanks again for help
Gunna be having a go at replacing the metal swivel bracket inside the mirror which snapped off recently, any advice? Doesn't seem to be any guides on how to do this, I take it the door cards have to come off in order to get the morrow wires out, how do I go about removing the mirror casing?
Hi all. Just jumping into this one as a scrap metal pick up knocked my offside mirror off today .
Has anyone changed the metal bracket eBay item 292495499077 on a highline with heated and motorised mirrors?
I can't see how to get the wires out? I got the door trim off ok, but the plugs won't go through the hole to get the bracket out.
Any advice much appreciate
Alan

Well some w&€¥er just smaked my wing mirror off wile it was parked up.
The mirror itself is undamaged, no idea how.
Looked like a thing called a ‘Wing Mirror Bracket Gear Bearing Inner Bush’ is made to snap easily and I’m doing so save the mirror.
I’m my case that worked a teat. A replacement is under a £10.
Only question is does anyone have the instructions for how to replace it?
Iv got a t6 by the way with electric mirrors.

Hi Pauly,
Rather than start a new thread I thought I’d jump in this one. I’m having trouble sourcing a new Offside Mirror online, they all seem to be for the T5.1 and a lot of them say that they won’t house the aerial inside. Basically a lorry drove past me and wiped mine out... (B*****d) the mirror parts and casing are all intact somehow, minus the metal swivel part which is the part that attaches the mirror to the van. I’m assuming from your diagram that this individual part isn’t available separately so I was wondering if you are still able to get a hold of prices and availablity of part 1 from your diagram, or would you be able to point me in the right direction to get the parts?
Much appreciated!
Mark
