Wing mirror vandalism (V70 D5 2003)
Hard to believe but last night, despite being parked up against a hedge, on returning to my V70 I found the passenger wing mirror had been yanked forward and the mirror lens had been ripped out (by a person - not a car). Firstly why?!
I can get a replacement mirror glass OK but it seems to me the motor doesn't work v well any more - it'll go just a little up and down but not sideways at all. Any suggestions please? Should I try and remove the motor and inspect (and replace?), or have to bite the bullet and get a whole wing mirror - pity though as the main structure is fine and they are dear.
(Incidentally why would it have two wires sticking out now - they look like they are for glass heating but there are no knobs or controls for that in this car!).
