Wing mirrors

[delfinis38 1]

Not needed to adjust the wing mirrors on the corradofor years until. This morning.... They are very notchy and you have to push the button right in to adjust... Is this normal can you service the mechanism or should I of bought a new set from the company in Wallingford last month.

Sounds like the switch/connectors just need cleaning

Is that a door card off job. Or just remove the small triangle inside the car.

 

Idiot proof instructions please :)

It's just the direction switch, no need to get at the connectors to the motor or loom, th switch contacts need a good clean probably, so you just need to remove the door handle, I stripped a late mirror switch down on my 8v, now just my 16v thread

Is it just the plug contacts on the back of the switch that needs cleaning... What should I clean it with.

Bump... As I'm playing cars today.

Cool... Thanks.. This is an early switch ? Is a late one similar ?

yeah, the late one is totally different but the cleaning is basically the same, just get some meths or panel wipe and clean the contact surface, if badly corroded then something like duraglit/brasso will take off the oxidisation
