One way to stop this happening is to tell your mate to bin the golf for a nice defender Thumbs Up

This is one of many issues that a defender cannot suffer from. Laughing Russell

This is why I hate newer cars and turn signals on mirrors :

you will have to replace the whole Light assembly if a LED is damaged :

thanks very much for the info.
do you know if these simply clip off from the outside or if you have to take the mirror / motors etc to pieces or not?

thanks.

If it is anything like the VW van we had on hire a few months ago you are looking at the whole item...... One thing I couldn't believe about VW is that their mirrors don't have any give in them- clipped it whilst reversing at 0.5mph and the whole thing just fell off!! Then it was a full mirror assy not just mounting parts.

I agree but even my 1995 had heated and electric adjust mirrors that when you clipped/ caught on something they would flex 45-90 degrees and then you just pull it back and off you go.

Would you rather

A. Non heated mirror that gives you bad visibility and needs wiping every hour.... be it that you have to spend 15 mins adjusting it back to what it used to be after someone has lent on it.

or

B. No wing mirror as someone lent against it and it fell off... not to mention the bill for a new mirror (£80+VAT+Colour coding)
