Snapped wing mirror

[Uncle_Clanger]

It worked? so how can it be bodged? The mirrors on the Z3 have caused regular problems and are a nightmare to source (or used to be before the fibreglass repair kit came out) Mine broke on my first Z3 I looked around for weeks but could not find any, the only ones were the M mirrors, so £450 lighter in pocket I had no choice but to buy them..

It worked,... but obviously not as strong as before it was repaired...I would call that bodged...I reckon most Z enthusiasts would rather wait and get it replaced or repaired effectively but sympathetically... The point I was making was its not very nice discovering previous owners handywork if it's not exactly "standard".... £450! Ouch, look after them then! ... Don't snag them on your winter cover.

For feck sake! Which absolute rogue owned this car?
This isnt a nightmare. What your actually seeing is screws, forced through to hold it in place, ontop of each other. Then glue.

Yep, I would call that botched, there are better ways to repair a snapped mirror, that looks like 2 rolled into one, my drivers side is fixed using 2 component metal putty.

How do I know if I have heated door mirrors? I've got the 2 wires going to the back of the glass so I assume that means they are heated?
Are they constantly on or should there be a switch?

Z3 heated mirrors are permanently on.
