rsweeney 40 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 just some annoying bits on the golf, points on how to sort these would be great.start with door handles, not the best picture but each one has this where the paint has come away almost as if its dropped.when dismantling sunroof i remove headlining, this covering strip appeared to big so i cut it, stupid idea and i did it to short, where can i get one of these ? some d*** when the car was being worked on scraped accross both the mirrors where can i get these from?

ez_101 1 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 have you tried polish around the dorr handles? a good cutting compound might help?Wing mirrors are always on ebay try looking there buddy, just as cheap as replacing the glass. Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 this is the cheapest glass on ebay as mirrors where nearly £15 each http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-3-MK3-DOOR-WING-MIRROR-GLASS-ESPEJO-ASPHERIC-/120563171304?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c121fffe8and i tryed a cutting compound but no luck its dug into paint. anyway of getting them to sit higher ? to hide it Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 You can get cheap glass that sticks on the top of your exsisting glass from halfords or local car accesory shop, however if you have heated wing mirrors they will not work, i recommend either replacing the glass which you will need a special tool for, or replacing the wing mirror itself, for £15 i would consider that cheap.have you got a zoomed out pic of the door handle?

rsweeney 40 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 how do i remove the glass ? its not heated, they are just electric.pics dor door handles : Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hmm i would try buffing that out with a good cutting compound, if that fails try wet n dry sand paper about 1000grit then polish, other than that a respray?You need a mirror glass removal tool, think you can pick them up from VW for a tenner, like i say i would just replace the wing mirror!

rsweeney 40 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 ok will just get wing mirrors. when you say some fine wet and dry then polish im quite sure its gone down to primer woud you say ? Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 No it doesnt look like primer mate, just looks very faded!! Take it to a body shop and see what they suggest? advice is free! Link to post Share on other sites
