Hi all. Don't know if anyone else has had the same problem but here goes. Just bought a pair of M3 style wing mirrors only to find that the base plates don't fit. When I asked at the shop they said that the mk3 golf base plates fit all mk3's. The problem is that the cabrio has not got any frame around the top part of the door window making the base plate smaller than that of a hatchback. Anyone had the same problem and managed to resolve it? Cheers.:confused:

I'd say the shop was wrong. Maybe they fit all fully framed windows, but obviously your's aren't the same.

That's what I thought. The thing is that the base plates are used for all types of these wing mirrors i.e M3, M8, Evo, SLR...... It's doing my head in that no one else has changed their cabrio wing mirrors to aftermarket ones. Cheers for the reply though.
