Exterior door mirror adjustment 5 seat Station Waggon

[beanohallett]

Good Morning Folks being extra thick today......

A silly question- how do I adjust the exterior door mirrors?

The manual says

The door looks like this

The electrical adjustment part of the exterior mirror isn't there.

There is no other way of adjusting the mirrors visable

So before I start pulling the mirror on the outside and breaking something - is this correct or is there something missing - like the standard mirror adjustment panel ?

Any help gratefully received, and anyone else have a similar issue?


Cheers folks

If you have the base model without smooth pack I don’t think you don’t get the electric adjustment it’s manual. Just push in the corners of the glass to move it around I guess like we used to in the old days

yes mirrors are manual on the station wagon unless spec'd. either via smooth pack or separate power mirrors option

Have to say the manual appears to have been thrown together as an afterthought and seems to have quite a few significant omissions and some errors

Answers my question. I doubted a manual adjustment inside and made me then think all grenadiers came with electric and i opted ($400 or thereabouts) for heated mirrors I would never use. Atleast it is confirmed i am paying for electric and heated mirrors

Im in enough trouble as it is !! .

Must say its absolutely top banana and enjoying it immensely great engine, driving position and steering is fine. Not too bad on our British roads too

I just received from my retail dealer the video of my newly arrived Grenadier. From a screenshot of the driver's door, the command for the electric mirrors is very evident.

Has anyone removed a mirror yet?
I'm hoping for the RHD models. The driver mirror can be detached from the bracket. And a new hole drilled in the mirror casing for it to lock in a further out position. So I can adjust mirrors correctly and not look at the car on full extension.

The standard features on the non Belstaff models used to say manually adjustable mirrors.
Now there is no mention of mirrors on the standard features.
However the Smooth Pack mentions it includes Power heated exterior mirrors.
That is only standard on the Fieldmaster and Trialmaster in Australia but is an extra option on the base model
So I assume if you didn't option the Smooth pack or Belstaff editions you will have manual mirrors.

Ok, can I ask, how can you activate the heating element on the external mirrors? I have the smooth pack - ghostly powered mirrors (that work when suits them) but on a couple of mornings recently, I’ve had to wipe off frost/condensation on the mirrors. Does the heating kick in under certain temp automatically ? Is there a switch? Is there a magic spell I must chant? Do I need a wand?

With the rear defroster?

I have to admit, even with the rear defroster, I am not sure it works ...

@Krabby is right, works (should !) with the rear demist. Ambient temperature was 8 C, still not sure if there is a cut off temperature though.

I have different question: does somebody know is any possibility to mount aftermarket heated mirrors in base version ? I bought utility version and did not find the idea to check it before i paid, because in XXI century even Opel Combo has heated mirrors. From my point of view it does not look as a challenge - just have to change the mirror insert for heater version. But question is if there is any space for cables in the mirror housing and a hole in the door to route them?
