Wing mirror toggle switch

All torque · 29-05-2007, 21:15

I have "accidently" broken mine off, anyone know were to get one? Tried local scrap yards and dont really want pay stealers prices

Thanks in advance!

Is it completey broken? I smacked mine with my knee once and it flew off. Thought it was smashed, put pushed it back on and it clicked into place. Works fine ever since.

Mk4 Golf item looks the same to me. There are a few on eBay but make sure you get one which has the heater logo in the centre position.

You might be surprised at how cheap it is.

Oh, just had a thought - VW item will illuminate red - Doh.

Hmm trying to imagine what you would be doing in a car with your knee up there

haha I can only dream

Its completely snapped off - I had my 10 month old son on my knee whilst waiting for SWMBO to finish shopping

and he managed to snap the toggle off some how

Cheers Phil for the advice

mine snapped this morning after I found some **** had broken my wing mirror!
Doh!
part number 1u2959565L (then mine says 1641 - stealer says its 01C)
£31!!!!!
Looks like a new painted mirror is around £120!!!!
....maybe VW red would look ok....

Being 6'3" I've managed to knock mine off with my knee 3 times!!! It just seems to click back on though.

Part seems to be the exact same one as the Golf Mk IV. I had two Golfs and I'm 99% certain it'd just fit straight on no problem.

If it does light up red instead of green it might actually look pretty neat and tone in with the red needles on speedo.....??
