I've managed to remove the wing mirror glass on the Porsche 944 to investigate why the passenger wing mirror doesn't fully adjust electrically. I'd tested the switch which seemed ok, the driver's side worked fine and the passenger side made a noise when the adjustment was pressed.
Having found a couple of fairly poor quality videos online I'll make a clearer one to show how to remove the mirror glass but having removed the clip I found that one of the adjustment arms had snapped meaning the mirror wouldn't move in that direction.
Next step was to find a replacement motor mechanism, Porsche mirror motors seem to be quite expensive but identical looking ones for other makes are far cheaper. I've taken the plunge and will see if they do actually fit!
Once done I'll post back with a video showing what I found out!
The diary of a Porsche 911 and former 944 Owner. I have now bought a 1998 Porsche 911 having previously owned a 2001 model 911 Carrera 2 and 1986 Porsche 944. This car is an early 996 C2 coupe with 3.4 engine/manual transmission and cable throttle. This is intended to document my experiences with the Porsche 911 over time including any problems and the running costs of maintaining a 21 year old Porsche 911
