Hi,

I have a 2012 Skoda Citigo, and the knob inside the cabin that controls the angle of the wing mirrors is broken. A couple questions:

1. Whats the most common reason for this breaking?

2. If its that the wire inside is broken, will this require the replacement of the whole wing mirror or is there a kit I can buy to fix this?

Thanks for any help on this as currently having to just push the mirror 😆

That Sir is the brilliant German engineers providing a back-up option of manual coordinated motor control - at no extra charge might I add.

I would have guessed at a lever arrangement, but don't know, if possible tacking the shell off the mirror housing might expose things otherwise it might be you have to remove the mirror glass and its holding piece, which if so is often a lot easier said than done.

You could have a look and see if there are any videos of Citigo or Ups or similar of the same age and mirror housing type and see if they show the repair or glass replacements.

ETA: just looking at the parts and it certainly is cable operated and what a high cost for such a part as a whole unit.
