Every Volkswagen has had a new mirror installed at some point over the years, and most don't stop at just one. Corrosion and damage are the most common reasons why a replacement is needed.
Mirrors are shipped as shown, you will need to order mounting hardware and/or gaskets in addition (see "options" tab).
Caution: Be careful when tightening the mirror, tighten it enough so that the mirror does not snap back when closing the door. Over tightening the mirror may cause it to break, this is not covered by the warranty.
Maintenance: If your mirror is entirely or partially made of polished stainless steel, it is recommended to clean these parts thoroughly with stainless steel protector immediately after assembly. In every workshop, metal particles swirl around (caused by grinding and sanding). If these particles get on the stainless steel, they can cause bright rust. It is not the stainless steel that rusts, but the iron particles that swirl and deposit on the stainless steel. Also, stainless steel is not chlorine resistant and can cause a rust reaction if it comes in contact with the flowers of certain trees or shrubs.
You should not use stainless steel cleaner on chromed parts, so also not on chromed stainless steel, use only chrome cleaner for this. So before you start polishing, check whether your stainless steel part is chromed or polished.
