R34GTt Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi, ;)Last week I purchased a '99 model Glanza which has electric wing mirrors, but I noticed on some Glanza's that they have electric folding mirrors. If I wanted to convert my mirrors to electric folding, would I just need the mirrors themselves and the mirror controls switch with the retract button on? Would this be a simple case of plug and play, as I would have thought all Glanza's would have the extra wire allready in the connectors regardless of wether or not it was utilised by the parts being fitted? Many thanks. Elliot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 if your mirrors are electric, then they are folding.you need to press the button to the right of the steering wheel, next to the adjusters (i think its labeled retract) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Mine are electric adjustable, but not folding I would be interested in some more info on maybe a conversion if anyone knows anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lukew360 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Mine fold, just have to do it manually.I'm sure I seen a post a few months back, someone had electric folding mirrors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lukew360 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Shaun does yours look like a standard factory fit? Or do you have an after market on the dash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R34GTt Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks chaps. Mine's a very late '99 model, so maybe they didn't fit them to some of the later cars?I'm going to swap over both mirrors and the switch for retractable units and will post up here with the outcome.

R34GTt Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just to let people know if anyone else is in the same situation, you can just swap the electric folding mirrors over with the switch in the dash and they work fine.As long as you have electric adjusting mirrors as standard, they are a straight swap.

lukEp Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The folding mirrors I beleve are factory option and made for the Glanza, there not adapted off a different car. McCormick has electric mirrors that don't fold. And a mirror switch without the retract button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
