Wing Mirror Bracket Replacement VW T5 T5.1 

Thank you so much for this video. Just finished a job on my passenger wing mirror today and really happy with it and your video really helped. I got some great little wire connectors with solder and shrink wrap that you connect using a lighter. Never joined wires before and that made it very easy and was amazed that everything worked when I’d finished!

The heated mirror cable as lugs on the mirror side, so just unplug it there instead of cutting it off

Thanks so much for posting this video. Just done my driver side fix. The tie wrap tip was very useful along with the help of a vice. Also I used pliers to disconnect the heated mirror connectors so no soldering required. Cheers!

Great video. This process is pretty much the same for a T6 wing mirror as well. If you have the DAB antenna in the wing mirror you will need to remove the door card to disconnect it as well. Worth the struggle. Zip tie trick works a treat. Thanks.

Thanks for making this video. I had to replace this part after a tree jumped out and knocked my passenger side mirror off. Great advice and pretty straight forward to do if you have the confidence. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great job. I have a similar issue with my Peugeot 3008 drivers mirror. The robbing bastards at Peugeot want £560 for a new mirror even though the broken part is just this bracket bush thing and they told me they don't supply the bracket so I sourced one on fleabay for £10 and waiting for it to arrive. Fingers crossed with the help of your video I'll save myself a fortune. thanks

Nice one, like the commentary, made me chuckle, this part bit more pricey i NZ ( $69 frickin dollars). Looks like a mission but i'm gonna give it go rather than giving the V dub dealership $400

Very helpful video, one issue I had was using cable ties, tried several times but wouldn’t hold the spring together. I found using an open ended spanner easier, pushed down on the spring with the spanner and my friend put the clip in. 👍

Cheers for the Video. RAC man said I would need to replace wing mirror £200 !! £13 bracket Amazon 1 hour later sorted. Tie Wraps on spring very clever.

This was very helpful thanks. I had to do it a bit backwards. I ended up removing the inside door cover, and removing the wires from the square harness so I could pull all of the wiring out through the metal sleeve, and then replace it. But thankfully it worked, although it was very time consuming.

great attempt and easy to follow, the cardboard box to rest on and the cable ties trick are the best tips, thanks from Australia

Thanks for this …..just did the same on my Amorok worked out great so very happy just have to remove the Gaffa tape residue… 😊

Thanks for the great video! Followed your instructions on my T5 and it worked out just fine.

Thank you so much for making this video. It really gave me the confidence to do it myself and avoid the hassle and bill of taking to a garage. As others have mentioned, I have an aerial in the passenger side wing mirror so that coax cable broke and I was unable to re-solder. However, I think there is another aerial in the driver side door on my T5.1 as (so far) reception on FM has been fine. Also agree the cable tie tip is genius! Like you removing and re-assembling the two covers was the worst part and managed to break a couple of the (very flimsy) lugs but seems OK anyway.

Thanks mate your vid just came in super handy🤙 haha zip ties worked a treat. pretty sure I lost patience and broke every clip trying to put the cover on 😁

Ordering my part from ebay and thanks to this video ill do it myself.

very helpful video. Always good to see how someone else did it thank you. Mapped or Routed the cables 😁

You could have just disconnected the heated wires from the mirror. Those connections just pull off. Eitherway you got the job done.

Thanks for that, very helpful. Mine also had the antenna for the DAB and GPS in it which was an added complication - they have to be disconnected from inside the van- don’t cut them! They are coaxial and not easy to splice!

Thanks for this video ☺️ don't think I could have done it without again the idea with the spring paid off brilliant thanks

Thank you very much, zip tie trick worked perfectly

great work it worked for me too thanks using the zip ties, i only dropped the f bombs getting the covers back on, but the clips were probably broken anyway before i got to it.

I have done mine. no need to cut the glass cable, you just remove the cable logs from the mirror glass.

Thanks mate

I’ve just had the part delivered and I’m going to have a go later on. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for your video. a really expensive repair if I had taken it to VW.

Just did mine now. Very helpful video thanks.

Great video, very clear with great tips. Thank you

Thanks for the spring tip had it sussed until I got to that, was thinking the same as you boom shoot across the workshop. Not as powerful as it looks 👍

Perfect! Thank you for this post. Need to do mine and is more involved than I had first thought. Brilliant commentary too! :) Ha!

I followed this to fix my driver's side last year but I just broke my passenger side too and so I ordered the same part but when I've taken it apart, it looks different. There's a spring but I can't see the c-clip and the part I'm replacing doesn't have the wide base. Does anyone know if the driver and passenger side are different?

Thanks for the video - exactly what I was looking for. Anyone have any luck locating the part for a VW Golf? For some reason, comes up using “ VW T5.1 transporter wing mirror repair” for the transporter but nothing for a golf

great video, defo helped!

Thanks mate, very helpful. Liked and subscribed.

Hey I the same problem with my right side mirror and I need the part how to order

Glad to here it!

Great video. Thank you.

Hey, I missed the zip tie spring clip, now really struggling to get the spring back on, any tips please?

Anyone know what size the bolts are for connecting the bracket? Someone has glued my wing mirror back on so I don’t have the bolts.

Can your mirrors be tucked in electronically ? We have a 2006 caravelle and the same issue on passenger side, wanting to self fix

awesome job mate, could you please share the part number for that bracket please? exactly what i need right now as wife just clipped one off last night 😂😂

Hi, thanks for the video. is the bracket the same for left/right mirror? Or is there some slight difference?

Great cheers

FYI. The heated mirror wires un-plug from the glass. No need to cut.

Informative, but you all over the show. It's hard to keep up.

What did you do about disconnecting the radio aerial?

how much would it cost

screws are f***ing massive 🤣🤣🤣
