My good reddit friends,
with the help of bitingantz video I was able to quickly disasemble the mirror.
This is a pure inspecting job, nothing broken.

But I want to remove the Cables. As you know, the main-Plug wont slip through the Metall part of the mirror, so we have to remove the Plugs on the Glas/motor side.
-How could i remove the heat plug tho?
I see kind of a black bracket that might only be glued to the Heat-mat.. lifting the grey Plug kinda doesnt feel right.....

How does this work? holding the black bracket right below the plug with a Flat-head Screwdriver and gently pull that grey Plug up?
please let me know, these parts are old, and i dont want to break something :)

I might be wrong tho about the Plug- But, it seems- because of the heating wires, the Plug i have is bigger then the one in his video. Thus I dont see a way to slip it out the main metall part, as we only have a tiny flat slot there.

I also see a tiny tiny white plug that goes INTO the gray mirror plug. maybe its even that guy. Seems to be really sitting there tight.

I just startet assembling my door again ( Iam bored topic a couple weeks ago) I removed that bracket and also it's rubber buffer. Eh.. Did I mount it correctly?

Found out that my pessenger window goes up slowly. Became a full Restauration project. The wires seem all in perfect condition. I depinned everything and used a cleaner and toothbrush for the pins.

Pessenger control works perfect. Still tho I went the long route. I know I have to do the same on the driver side. As I realized that controlling the pessenger window from there isn't performing very good (slow). So I assume a bad ground, bad wire, or contacts.

I discovered slight rust in the inner door. So that's what I adress on the next weekends.

I like working on my deuce.

It's a 1998 BTW. Delivered in 99.

Da ich selbst eine „alte“ Kamera besitze, für die keine passenden OEM- oder Aftermarket-Eyepieces mehr produziert werden, freut es den Besitzer eventuell.
Unwahrscheinlich, dass hier jemand danach sucht.. aber hey, ich versuche es trotzdem.✌️

I have a question about the power windows. Are there any aftermarket motors? As my pessenger side always was going up pretty slowly, almost coming to a stop, I once removed everything, cleaned away the old grease, re- lubricated everything. That was 15 years ago. Latley it really startet annoying me again. Could it be a bad motor? Broken harness? Such things are difficult to measure as far as I can tell. If I remember right, the wiring of the motor goes all the way to the driver side control panel too.

Digged out the manual for adjusting the windows, and might remove all over again, but somehow I still think it's something with the motor, or maybe tension on the mechanic parts giving the motor a hard time.

If you guys have any tips, experiences how to improve it.. Let me know please. I bet many here know these problem.

Boosted around the swabian alb last weekend. What a fun little beast. (stock paint from 1998 except the rear bumper) 😍

Took some photos of Hohenzollern castle too. Saw the starlink drop too plus the rocket venting fuel. Looked insane 🚀⛽ but was just to far. Even for that lens (600mm).
