My passenger wing mirror on my 2008 Impreza is making a horrible noise. Almost sounds like the motor is trying to constantly move them. Does anyone know if the motor is easy to replace in these ? The wing mirror itself is fine

 

Motor, Body and glass come as a unit for the UK spec mirrors


Trying to remove the scalp cap can lead to broken clips if not very careful

 

bit of a pain to get hold of by the looks of things

 

especially a left one 😀

 

Does anyone know if all U.K. spec wing mirrors also have electric folding like mine also ?

 

Does anyone know how to get the wingmirror casings off aswell ?

 

What do you actually mean?? Removing the mirror from the door?

 

these mate! the plastic covers on the front that apparently has clips to keep them on

 

Did you not read the attached pdf file to my first post?

 

ah sorry mate! I didn’t see the attached pdf 😆. I’ll take a look now

 

Hello

Color wire Tester voltage

White = ground
Yellow = up/down mirror movement
Green = inwards/outwards movement

Other color heating mirror.

 

thanks mate. I’ll take the mirror out and see what’s occurring behind it

 

ok.. perfect.. 👍🏻

 

Any updates?

 

Do you have to de- pin the plug to get it through the window gusset as i did on my jdm forester?

 

no luckily I don’t! It has a hole ready made for the wire to go through.

 

struggling to find one to be honest. Asked Subaru and they are £275 +vat but can’t give you a delivery date. Can’t buy jdm ones as the connector is different. So I’m gonna wait it out until one pops up. I’ve unplugged it for now.
