Mirror Glass Replacement | MK5 GTI

[@davehinds1930]

Took my VW CC to a body shop for a lose mirror and they quoted me just over $1,200 to replace everything. Watched your video, ordered the part for $18 and it's good to go. Thanks!

[@neilbeeson3124]

Really good guide. After watching this it took me around 3 minutes. Yey!

[@jamesbutler6939]

I just used liquid nails glue from my local hardware store and works better than ever before only just stumbled across this video but sadly the part is hard to get a hold of where I live anyway 😅

[@justanotherviewerfan4229]

Answered my question thanks

[@michaeldobbin7622]

Just happened to me. Glad to see it will be easy to fix.

[@gregorynachor4743]

Good video. I am the only owner of a MKV GTI and alot of these "common problems" with the mkv gti i haven't encountered. If its possible, could you do a video removing and replacing struts and shocks on the mkv gti? Thanks.

[@nathansmith-ju3pz]

I ordered a replacement on amazon and got the glass only, no bracket, what glue would you suggest I use to attach it?

[@ethanheitz4489]

Thanks for the guide, I was able to use E6000 to glue it back on.

[@ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀਦੇਰੰਗ-ਲ1ਢ]

Is it still holding good?

[@ethanheitz4489]

@@ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀਦੇਰੰਗ-ਲ1ਢ Yes, absolutely. E6000 should be easily available at any parts or hardware store too, I highly recommend it. Cheaper than silicone RTV as well.

[@terrybyrt211]

So easy to replace. Thank You!

[@tacticalteamkilling6539]

Just had the glass come loose on the driver's side on my MkVI GTI. Luckily I was able to catch it before the glass fell out and got lost or broken. Is it possible to reattach the glass to the base or do I just need to buy the base and glass and be done with it? I suppose it's worth mentioning that I do have heated mirrors, which is why I'm asking about reattaching it instead of just gluing it back together now.

[@JessePike5]

Just take it off, glue it, put it back. Oh wait they sell the part

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

Mine was reglued by the previous owner. I bought my Jetta last week. Today the glass fell off and broke when it hit the ground.

[@AdamKellar]

I was thinking this the whole time. Fixed mine with double sided tape.

[@carlkwasnjuk9518]

@@AdamKellar I purchased the drivers side AND passenger side glass at a U-Pull-It Junkyard along with two rubber bottoms for the cup holders and paid a total of $8.75. The dealer wanted $135 for the glass.

[@mikecorcoran4483]

Parts are expensive. I have a 16 Golf R and my L side fluttered and I did not know what was the problem till one day while washing my car as I came to that side I looked on the ground and the mirror had just fallen off by itself and broke in two. Now my R side < same situation< washing car and as I walked around to that side I watch the mirror just fall off but this time was flipping over and over again but landed unbroken. So best way to not replace that whole expensive mechanism($164) and how to just glue that mirror back on to the backing plate.

[@Oshaneeee]

Hello guys great video, I know your a business and everything but instead of buying a $80 mirror you can just show them how to glue it back together a lot cheaper

[@bazookabenny9502]

Not everyone needs this video because theirs is delaminating or to buy their mirror. I'm replacing mine because the heater burned through the glass and it's now black corner to corner. It's a great example of a quick fixit video that's specific to our cars.

[@michaelatchison2325]

My Passat got lose and I just put some two sided tape on it and stuck it back on. Non-heated so didn’t have to worry about that.

[@gomanfong4077]

My cousin closed my door lightly, and it popped a meter the other direction. That shit was funny.

[@dannydiaz801]

I am an early adopter of the MK 7 and this just happened to me. I wonder if the MK 7 has a similar removal technique.

[@kiwicarparts]

@dannydiaz801 Yes, your VW Golf MK7 has similar removal technique

[@sandorjozsef2994]

Good videó,thak you bro

[@iamcalebrichards]

I’d love to see a video on how to replace the mirror turn signal lights on an MK5

[@Deutscheautoparts]

you mean like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/aavWlXWKlt6raac

[@jasonswift7098]

Is this a problem on 2009 mk 6 models?

[@Griffindore619]

hell yeah appreciate the video

[@nopama]

This is awesome

[@yao5921]

can anyone explain at 0:40 on how to slide it back and take the mirror out? I tried but nothing budged. What do I slide back to take the mirror out? back means toward the back of the mirror? thanks in advanced. This is so confusing and yet no other comments seem to have problem with it.

[@yao5921]

All right, I got it. Just Pry it outward by pure force, not sure what 'slide it back' means, but thanks to the video, I got my GTI mirror fixed. thanks a lot.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Confused me too..."slide it back"??? Then no description of where BACK is or even an example! Piss poor description bro!!!

[@LatestHour]

Also a problem on my Mk6, on the right side! Thx

[@iplaybose]

i took the mirror out and now i dont remember which mirror heat cable goes where, in the video I can see that theres a red cable that goes to the right pin, correct ?

[@blakeyoungquist2267]

Phew, I thought I had hit something when I turned onto my bumpy driveway cause i didn’t notice it missing until a few shouts later. But it was completely smashed when I found it 😢.

[@nsoper19]

i remember when i took my mk5 for a test drive. Right as i got out of the car and shut the door, the mirror fell out and smashed on the ground haha.

[@RichardsWorld]

If it is just separating you could probably just super glue it. You think?

[@Dinur36]

Nice video, but where are the rest of the episodes from the mk5 gti build? you never finished the series..

[@magmavr6]

4 years and 2 Golf gens later… super common issue 🙃

Happened to me on the highway

[@diegowaahere]

I used super glue to glue the glass part back lmao. Still on there

[@patrickokeeffe6998]

V good, what's going on in vw, this happened on our mark7 golf Does anyone in vw give a sh** from water leaking into wheel well of booth to water leaking in through rear door speakers. Beyond a joke at this stage. Not to mention the battery life the appalling pipework of the air con that leads to leaks in the drivers foot well. Not good enough at all.

[@jwester7009]

Couldn't you just clue it back on?

[@maximumextreme]

Someone smashed mine

[@johnturner4400]

Jesus Christ. Just sort the focus out. It’s easier than fixing the mirror.
