So i'm buying a set of 968 mirros for the 951. What all will I need to mount them and make them funtional on the 951? (Besides paint obviously)

This is what they look like now:

You'll need the instructions to splice them into the 951 wiring (unless they are manual). There are several threads in the archives.

Also look here: Link

I don't see any wires. Are they manual? If so, they are a direct bolt-on. You will just need a switch blank to replace the switch on the consol, and a blank for the adjuster on the door card.

Thanks for the link Dan!

Tifo i'm not sure if they are manual or not, just sent an email asking.

If there are not any wires in it, its a manual. Which is good because they are light weight, low drag.

I say leave em that color!

That's all good.

I thought the 968 mirrors wouldn't work with the 944 controller for the power mirror/heater thingys. Is that not correct? If not, I may need to rethink my position on the 968 mirrors - they DO look nice although I think the price of 'em is usually pretty wacky.

WES, I HATE YOU!!! This is one upgrade I REALLY want!! Where did you pick the mirrors up at? I wouldn't care if they are power or non-power.

Just have to be quick on the draw

They work perfectly fine if wired correctly. Icat's site that was linked above explains it in perfect detail.

I put 968 mirrors on my 951 about 7-8 years ago. I don't remember all the details, but what I do remember is i cut the connector off the 951 doors, plumbed the wire up the mirros and simply spliced them. I am no wiring wizard and it was very simple to do. Took maybe a few hours if I remember correct.

I have no connectors now though. They are hard wired with solder and heat shrink so if I was to remove the mirrors I would have to cut wires.

Other than that is was a "bolt-on". One of the easier 944 jobs I have undertaken....

Thanks Dana! I didn't figure it would be all the complicated, but figured i'd ask


I can't wait to put these on

Wes, IIRC you can just look at the wiring diagram and match them up, solder, heat shrink and keep the connectors. I do not believe there is ANYTHING severly different that will not work with the stock 944 wiring. Glad to have you back.
