SAAB 93 MIRROR REPLACEMENT

[@GordonBenny]

How do you "fold" a piece of glass. The motor tilts the glass in various directions. You can not do Origami with glass. ROFLMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davidmunozsanmiguel5747]

One big question, why do you remove the whole door panel if that isn't necessary? Thank you.

[@ИгорьСидоренко-щ9д]

thank you!

Great video!As well, i have an issue about the folding operation.Actually there is no operation when i push the folding button, but i am hearing the silenoid motor turning (without folding mirror) for a few seconds!I suppose that the damage is comming from the spring that holds the mirror over the silenoid motor.Could you make a video, how to disassemble by secure, the mirror?In that case we should see the spring, so by a screw driver, we can turn it to the rigth direction and solve the issue.It' s a very common problem for SAAB 9-3 MY 2003-2007.Thank you.

Do you think it is possible to remove the backcover (silver part) without removing the whole mirror? Want to repaint it.

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

Yes u can, remove the glass, while the mirror is attached and u should have enough access to release the taps (u will have to move the mirror between fold and unfold position)

[@synthostyle]

I have also the same issue with my car. How did you know which mirror engine was faulty? On my Saab 9-3 2010 Sportcombi TTiD when I press the folding button nothing happens even if the car is equipped with folding door mirrors.

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

I dont think the mirrors are the issue, its probably the button or the driver door module . U will need a tech2 to figure that out .

[@synthostyle]

@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY Ok, is the driver door module situated in the door? The button for the tilting for passenger side works. Will there be any failure code related to this? I have A SID2 in the OBDII outlet that can read failure codes.

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

Alexander Wänerberger the driver door module is the window buttons panel actually, i dont know if eSid will get those types of B codes, but sure tech2 will .

[@synthostyle]

@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY I removed the switch unit/controller for the side mirror on the A pillar on the driver door. Behind it you could see the connectors to the side mirror. I see a black and a grey connector. The grey connector is the one for auto dimming and the folding function. For the Auto dimming there is a Yellow/white in inlet 1 and a yellow/black wire inlet 2. The wire for folding the mirror there is a Blue/violet wire in inlet 10 and there should be a Yellow/grey in inlet 8. What I could see was that the yellow/grey wire but it is not connect of some cause. I don't know for the moment how the passenger side looks like since there is no inspection hole on that side. I guess the someone have disconnected it I hope there is a crimp on it.

[@synthostyle]

The issue was one of the wires on each side was removed from the grey connector. I have the function now but my left side mirror housing will not stop in correct position when unfoldning.

[@uneekpcs]

Because noone guessed, I guess the plastic clips broke off?. Btw can you easily add electric folding mirrors to a saab without them?

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

I guess u check the wiring harness to the mirror if it has the extra wires for it, if it has then u will need the buttons, the mirrors and some programming..

How did you get the damn control panel out? Did you just wedge it with the screwdriver?

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

Saab Rider , if u mean the mirror control panel, then yes after removal of the door inner panel it just pulls out

[@nataliakomunska6479]

Hi. I'm gonna repaint this black "triangle" part that's attaching mirror to the car and I saw you left the metal part of your old mirror. Is it possible to also remove it?

[@kevineg5]

Sadly no. They are machined together

[@lovediecastdetails2269]

on an 06 SC US model someone told me to get the door harness loom from an 03? and do you mind letting me know the part numbers for the switch controller?

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

Im sorry, but to provide accurate information you will have to provide me with VIN number which i don’t recommend posting it to the public ..

[@TheFlyingMechanicDIY]

Emre Diril unfortunately you cannot, the motor is built-in to the metal frame of the motor, to remove it you may have to destroy the mirror.
