Thinking about taking the effort out of adjusting my mirrors.

Has anyone tried to fit these, and if so, any pictures? They seem to be available relatively cheaply...

I'm sure they would be relatively straight forward as long as you get the control unit along with the mirrors surely it will just be 12 volt

And heated too, a bonus for those with heated front windscreens, sounds like a far-too-comfortable midas to me!

Before I posted my question I was watching a pair for either £20 or £25.

Posted the question, looked again, no longer for sale......but there are others, with widely varying prices.


...and on the subject of heated windscreens, I phoned my local Auto Windscreens today to see if they'd swap my old screen for my heated one. Yes, they'd do it. But they would have charged me around £200 for the job.

I helped my Dad remove and replace a windscreen in his first Mini (he bought a 1959 one around 1971 and stripped it down to a bare shell, cut out and patched everything that was rusty, and gave it a complete respray). Hard work but not impossible.

How hard is it to remove/replace a screen in a Midas?

These ones David? :

I replaced a screen in my mini, cracked the first one, luckily had a spare found out my scuttle wasn't straight, hence too much force fitting the first one, doh.

How is the Mk3 screen mounted, rubber or bonded?

The same as the mk 2.

They are the ones I'm watching NOW.

I think the set I saw first were Buy It Now for £25. Looks like someone else did.
