I'm looking to source a pair of the connectors for the power mirrors - preferably with the CWP.
I'm installing power folding mirrors, and would rather not cannibalize my current set if possible. So if your mirror got trashed, or you know of a wrecker/body shop with a set of trashed mirrors, let me know!

I need the part stamped 334 in the first picture, and as much of the wires as possible (note in the last pic they run all the way up the body)
Any help appreciated!

 

Cool, how much do you know about them? I think I have some idea of which parts I would need. Do you know which (if any) wiring harnesses would have to be changed in order to retrofit these?

 

The set I have just has an extra set of wires (for the folding motor) which is run to a seperate switch.

 

Do you have retrofit instructions for this? Also, where did you get the folding mirror retrofit?

Thanks.

 

Product is here. Instructions (well, some instructions) here. I'll post a how to with pics when I'm finished.

 

That's fantastic! Let us know how much of a struggle it is. The site says five hours...ouch.

 

It's a bit unnerving taking the mirror apart (I've already done one side, short of attaching the connector), but now that I've done one the mystery is gone. Otherwise there's a bit of blind work, but nothing egregious.

NOW I JUST NEED TO FIND A COUPLE OF CONNECTORS SO I CAN FINISH!

 

Bump - anyone?

 

I'd be interested how the project goes. Thought about this ages ago, but both the cost and installation gave me second, third, and fourth thoughts.

As for parts, I remember last year on CL that someone in Salinas had bits and pieces of Cooper parts, probably from a wreck. Try CL

 

Eric, have you tried getting in touch with this unlucky soul? They may end up with extra parts depending on the route they take with their repair.

 

Yep - feel like a bit of a grave robber, but the bits I need are just going in the dumpster if I don't get them.

 

I've already installed the passenger side (just don't have the adjustment motor hooked up. It's pretty cool. I'll post a video eventually. I contemplated this for over a year, and finally pulled the trigger. It's a pricey option, but big on the neato factor. Not as unique now that you can get it OEM, but I'll have one of the only early cars with them.
The install isn't too bad - dismantling the mirror is the tough part.

I've seen that one on CL. Ideally I'll just cannibalize wrecked mirrors vs. good ones. I can just hack up mine, but it just seems a waste to trash good ones when there are trashed ones out there. A local guy just rolled his '03 (nobody hurt ), so I'm trying that, too.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me!

 

Any news here? I am extremely interested in your impression of this mod. Also, any pictures you could post would be much appreciated!

 

I might be able to get the wires, but i only have until moday to get all the resto of the stuff off the car and that doesnt give me enough time to get the tires from you. Thank you any way. I will let you know if i get the wires.

 

Thanks, Sean, I appreciate it!

 

Finally finished up, after I discovered I could dismantle and remove the OEM mirror wiring harness and use it whole instead of cutting it up. Still hoping to get a spare OEM harness to chop up, as it would make the install a little cleaner, but they are currently up and folding.
I've done a how-to writeup, but still have to do some work resizing and hosting pictures. I do have a small video in my gallery of the mirror in action.

 

Dude, I want those so bad!!!!!!!!
