...already I sense TWO worrying factors!

1. Confidence rising - '...I can't belive anything will present itself...'
2. A mystery part left over.

Long live the Kahdmus Syndrome!

Good luck, H. I won't be here to witness the job's completion as I have an appointment on a certain twisty piece of German blsckstuff for a few days...

ROFLMFAO!!

Well, play along....can you spot it in the diagram?

JB - have a great time (Oh...and take an extra memory card along for your camera!) ;-)

The sport mirrors on my RS America do not have any form of remote control, manual or power. You have to push on the edges of the mirror to change the angle. The piece in your picture looks like something that would allow the mirror to change angle. Maybe it's only for non-remote control installations.

This makes good sense and is very likely the correct answer IMO! The piece has the same screw hole alignment as the motor but obviously it cannot fit at the same time as a) the screws included are just the right length for the motor to attach to the housing and b) the combined thickness would push the glass all the way out of the housing.

The more I think about the this while typing, the more I think you have hit the proverbial nail on the head!

I guess the true test will be if your mirrors stay on.

Kahdmus

Now THAT is not funny!!!

Couldn't resist.

Sounds to me like a quick thrash through the mountains is in order.

Yuop, thinking of going for a HWY1/35 drive once I get done in a few hours...see if those mirrors will really stay on! Hopefully the weather will brighten up on the peninsula! Doing anything?

Cheers,

I just test drove a 1999 996 C2 and was actually thinking of taking the RSA for a drive to remind myself what "real" Porsche feels like.

I was going to suggest a drive and a meet, but I'm still wrestling with the mirrors and have to go to the hardware store to get some additional female ends. It may end up getting too late. Although I suppose I could mount the mirrors and rewire them later?!

There's always tomorrow or Monday. I suspect that traffic is pretty bad this time of day. I'll PM my cell phone number to you.

Still wrestling with the mirrors? I refer you to John's last post.

Kahdmus

You have mail!

Kahdmus

Thanks for the drive, great scenery and company!...and only a little KS to worry about! (shhhh...) ;-)

(KS gag order)

Incredible drive! One of those days that makes you realize how much you have to be thankful for.
