Well popped round the painter (if that`s what you can call him) :mad:
Took out the mirrors (or atleast 1 mirror) and they looked perfect
I should of checked them both,but i was in a hurry to get home and fit as the rain stopped
So anyway started at drivers side and removed door trip as described in some topics on here.
I took note of what wires went where in the plug so when i came to rewire it would be prefect
Fitted it all up and checked it works (Up is down,Right is left etc) Bollox who cares that will do,Must be a wire round wrong way somewhere,but cant be asred checking again
went to do passanger side and it started pissing down
well i thought sod it i aint just doing one,so i got wet
Did the other side perfect,apart from the mirror shell looks like its been sprayed with a hoover
very ruff and orange peel,so going back down tomorrow to see if it just needs wet sanded and buffed up.
If not he can paint that one again
One thing tho is that i could only get motor to hold with one screw each side
Do you get longer screws from BMW?
Maybe pop up and check
The motor is tight enough,so should not fall off Lol
Never had this prob with e36,but then again i never bought them off ebay [read
Anyway looks the nuts
