Powerfolding mirrors BA

Dobby69 · 03-08-2009, 06:59 AM

Hi all,i`ve heard that the Mazda 626 2000/2002 (duno Aus name?) as powerfolding mirrors? Anyone tried fitting to other models?
Carn`t get BA 1s so dear when there found!

The japanese model of the BA had them. The little round plastic placeholder in the drivers door armrest is where the button would be.

is that what that little circle about as wide as a pencil is? i've always wondered

Yep, Same controlls in other cars like my Demio so it wouldn't be too difficult to chase up the switch. It may be a case of heated or folding though.

I used to have them on my 1993 Eunos 500.
I tried to fold them out at high speed one day and broke the drivers one.
Damned thing kept clicking and whirring till i disconnected it.
My 3 door 1991 Mazda Familia 1.8 GT hatch had power folding mirrors as well.
The buttons have always looked similar on all my cars.
Even my astina has the spot for it.
I saw in one japanese car manual once a cartoon drawing of some one retracting the mirrors to drive their car into what looked like their house???WTF??
Japanese owners manuals are so funny.
