rust on my 210 rear arches and elec mirror issue

[michaelk3289]

Hello all, you may have seen my other post about new car (new to me)

it needs some money spending on it

one of my main gripes with the car is a faulty electric wing mirror

the passenger wing mirror will not adjust electronically, interesting it will fold in electronically so it must be the motor behind the mirror which has failed

can i replace this or do i need to buy the whole wing mirror, is it a special mirror as it has memory?

also there is some bad corrosion on the rear arches, has anyone been through the repair process and what else should be checked at the same time

Take the rear bumper off...and check each side of the body behind it.

I have a 210 and purchased it with the corrosion around the arches. You may want to remove the side skirts and check behind them for rust. I eventually had a complete lower body respray but dependent on the rust your car has, may only need some panels sprayed.
It has to be done properly otherwise it will return but it all depends on what the car is worth.

Yes the mirrors will be different as you have the memory function!!! Does it auto fold to view the kerb when it is put into reverse?
