[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 632127, member: 20098"] Just in case anyone comes across this post when wanting to fit convex glass, I would strongly advise against the Auto Wares ones. The quality is really pretty poor, and the design is flawed compared to an original one, meaning the nut on the mirror arm will eventually loosen over time if the mirrors get adjusted / folded repeatedly over time, but also when tightened the mirror just binds up - something which an OG one doesn’t do. I’ve just battled to try and remove all the sharp edges and rough casting / chroming on the bits that need to rotate, and even with that I’ve still ended up using an original VW part for the piece that screws into the door. Save your money and buy a good original set of mirrors and some aftermarket glass. [/QUOTE]
