the little rubber seal that sist between body and wing mirrors are baggy on one side and missing on the other, where can I get replacements?

Also the electric wing mirror on passenger side does not work. Is this on a seperate fuse circuit to the other or is itlkely to be a duff motor or poor connection? Any idea how I can check the operation?

I had the same problem...if you remove the door panel there is a connector behind that goes up to the wing mirror...i just disconnected this, cleaned the connections, plugged back in and it worked a treat.

If you still have problems getting the bits for you wing mirror you could always try a flashy new set with a totally new design:

Nice ! But are those the same as the later model Chim /griff mirrors , taken from a VW corrado ? If so then beware as IIRC you will need a different mirror ECU to make them work and a fair amount of rewiring

Tempting though. Hmmm

No, don't need a different ECU, but rewiring, yes. But as pointed out they are NOT Corrado mirrors.
