yesterday I put in the oem cargo cover I've been looking for that was missing when I bought mine.
today I put on a new clip for the rear right door lower weatherstrip that had broke and the strip was hanging down. I think this is what was helping rain get in the floor in that area. also ordered a clip for the same place on my front driver door for 81 cent... tomorrow I'm gonna figure out what type of mirror glass I have on my passenger mirror so I can order the correct replacement as I've got some sort of delamination going on with it that is bugging the hell out of me. |

I know I have a cold weather package on the vehicle as it has the headlight washers though. the driver side mirror looks like a plain regular mirror. the passenger mirror thats screwed up has a blue hue to it. |
According to Edmunds.com, 2010 Range Rover Sport S/C
Gross Weight 6889 lbs Curb Weight 5816 lbs And 2010 X5M is 6405 lbs and 5368 lbs. respectively, with 45 hp and 39 ft-lbs more. My mind is set now :D |
I would just order a set of blue tinted (non autodim) mirrors with aspherical function from eBay, they should be about 100 bucks for the pair.
Regardless if you have auto dim function or not in my opinion. The auto dim mirrors are about 250 apiece. I had the "de laminating" of the mirror glass when I bought my X, due to the heating element being on for extended periods I'm sure. Replaced with blind spot blue tinted mirrors off eBay (I do not have the auto dim function) for under 100 and am extremely pleased. |
the mirrors pull off by tilting them inward fully and then you just pry on it from the gap right?
how do you turn the heated portion on/off? also, here's a pic of both mirrors...you can see the obvious difference in them as well as the upper inside of the blue one thats all discolored. guess that means it really was heated and it went bad? lol http://honda-tech.com/picture.php?al...ictureid=95818 http://honda-tech.com/picture.php?al...ictureid=95817 |
it seems that your mirrors were swapped at one point or the other. the left one, with "white" tint to it, has a fat lip around the glass adge, which is symptomatic of el.chr. mirror, while the right mirror is just heated with skinny lip around the glass...
you can get the el.chr. mirrors for aobut a $100 a piece off the ebay, from latvian breakers - put a search on ebay and wait. or, you can forgo the function and go with just heated ones, like RB said... I got mine on the left side for $100 delivered - very pleased... i've had ashperical mirrors on my E34 and E39 - excellent safety feature, that is almost standard on euro models... |
ok, well I'm getting off work in a couple seconds so I'll revisit this tomorrow...but how do I tell which is the actual factory mirrors my truck came with?
sounds like electro ones are better? |
you can't turn the heating off, just unplug the connectors... the glass sits on clips, to pull the glass, it has to go 4-5 mm vertically up to clear the plastic clips/hooks. it is easier to tilt the glass to gain more clearance for the fingers... you can have more clearance for the fingers if you pul lthe trim off - i would use three old credit cards, insert them into the gap between the bottom of the glass and the top of the external shroud, there will be a seam between the plastic parts of the shroud - squeeze the cards into that seam (the glass will be in the way, tilt it up), you are unclipping 3 wide clips... as the cards go in, you may hear the clips unclipping with a "pop", and then the shroud just falls apart, make sure you catch it...
