Default Anyone know if this will work?

As some of you may remember, i asked about this a while ago. Anyone know if this mod will work, and what might possibly have to go into it? Put onto a GS400

i think it folds in, it appears to but doesn't show that exactly. I do believe so though. I need to do this mod, but want to know if the connector for the adjustments will work.

If you are asking about the rearview mirrors, I believe so.

As for the side ones, that is a lot of work to test. It is a bit of work to take off the mirrors. Maybe if Henry is feeling REALLY generous with nothing else to do, ...

I know he has been really busy lately with work though.

hahah good one johnny

the rear view mirror will work. i have the 01+ mirror on my gs400 no problem, plug and play

the side mirror on the sc430 folds in no problem, manuually of course

but whether it kits, i am not sure. i am not sure about the plugs of course, and i am not sure about the angle as well. the sc430 doors are more "slick'" and not as straight as the gs doors, so i am not sure about the shape

LOLOL, define a "King's Ransom" bro. For the right price, I'll take off my side mirrors and sell them to you hehehhe. They are automatic folding (just solder in the right wires) and they are already grafted with the benz blinkers.
