Step 1: Gathering the equipment
ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT
- Lever with folding choice. Part Number: 1K0 959 565 J.
- Folding mirrors (driver and co-driver). Part Numbers: 1Q1 857 501 BB 01S και 1Q1 857 507.
- Controllers with windows motors (driver and co-driver) with production date 2008+ (optional). Part Numbers: 1Q0 959 701 F and 1Q0 959 702 F.
- Pair of illuminated reflectors. You can find them ready with the wiring. Part Number: 1K0 947 411 A.
- 2 vw cables with part number 000 979 018.
- At least 2 plastic door clips. Part number: 6Q0 868 243.
The most economical - wise solution is to buy the ebay package for the reclining mirrors in the form of a package, as the maximum price they sell is 500 € with the transport and for each component to get separately from the dealership you need at least 350 Euros for each (except the button of course).

- Trim Removers
- Cutter.
- Tyre ups of various sizes.
- Soldering iron with solder (optional).
