Auto Folding Mirrors installed

[duckies]

@Integra23 Would you happen to know if we can install both the folding and reverse downward tilt at the same time?

@Integra23 Would you happen to know if we can install both the folding and reverse downward tilt at the same time?

The tilt kit is its own unit and seems to be plug-in play. I wouldn't think the two would interfere with each other.
I personally didnt care for this feature kn my Aspec since it seemed to lower the mirror a bit too much. Also over time it wouldnt fully return to the normal set position requiring mirror adjustment every other week.

Yep. Those are the locks. You pop that before removing the pins

I put two in the wrong hole like a dope and I absolutely cannot figure out how to remove the wires. Tried the unlock on the gray plug with the black lock (it doesn’t unlock very far) and then I tried a tiny paper clip from the front and rear without success. WTF am I trying to accomplish?

It happens. I took photos before I disassembled.
You go through the pin side ,there's a slot.
I used a sewing needle to go in and pull that tab out

I figured it out. Pin side with a sewing needing. My trick was I needed to push the wire all the way in, hold it in place while I got the needle under the clasp (easier said than done) and then once the clasp was released I could pull the wire out. If the wire was too far out (often pushed back by the needle) it was putting pressure on the clasp and I could not release it.

Thank you for all the helpful information. I have a 24 ITS. Can I still remove the side mirror covers with the carbon fiber side mirror accessory?
Does anyone know?

I’m also a little confused if I should consider the C or F kit for the ITS? I read a post on this thread a ITS owner bought a F kit and was missing a wire harness?

Thanks again (OG and contributors) for this thread.

I would order the C kit with only difference is that it includes a few extra wires which can be used for another future project. No cost savings between the 2.

If you have carbon fiber mirror covers they are just doublefaced tape to the factory covers. So yes just remove the factory cover.

Got it.
So need to remove the Kevlar covers then the OEM mirror covers

Thank you

No. Just remove the OEM cover since.the CF is attached to it and won't hinder removal

got it.

were you able to solve the vibration issue other people post about at higher speeds?

If anyone can solve the vibration issue and post an answer that would be awesome.

 

[Compromise]

I don't have any vibration issues.

I’m curious if the vibration is an installation issue or a QC issue?

I had it on both mirrors initially. Tightened them both down quite a bit. This got rid of the rattle on the passenger side mirror, but not the driver side. So, I lean more toward this being a bit of a QC issue.

Good to know, thank you.
