Done it today, time consuming but extremely satisfiyng :D Thanks mate!
Very helpful Simon, thanks. I just did both sides and worked perfectly. 1st time mirrors have worked since my wife owned the car and she’s had it 6 years. Only thing, I did one side digging out like you and a bit of one leg snapped so I used a small drill on the other side really carefully so as not to go to deep and this worked much better for me. Thanks for your great video it gave me the confidence to have a go.
Hi Andy, thanks for the feedback. To be honest since I made that video I did change my technique a little. I bought a dremel which made it so much easier to get the glue out, but it mean't dust went everywhere. Anyway, glad you managed to get your mirrors working once again.
Thanks for the video just did both sides, now working perfectly.
Brilliant news, glad the viudeo helped you out.
nicely done, done loads of these myself. I do it the same way but I snip the fuse head off just before I dig it out between the legs..
steve b yeah I’ve done hundreds of repairs all over the world, I didn’t realise it was such a common problem.
Thanks for the video, you help me a lot
Brilliant news, glad the viudeo helped you out.
The specs for the poly fuses are:
RXEF030 XF030 72V 0.3A 300MA PPTC Resettable Fuse
These can be bought in bulk from places like eBay.
Hope this helps.
Hi thanks for that, but can you change the Sides of this Moduls from the reigt to the left mirrow?
Hi. Just watched your video and very good and clear. I have one question I purchased a complete SOD of eBay and just come to fit it all works but when mirror folds in other folds out and vice versa. Would the fuse have been wired up wrong way round? Many thanks.
Great, thanks you !
Brilliant news, glad the viudeo helped you out.
Hi Simon, which fuse I need to use? I see many different types of polyfuses (like different Ampere). Thanks a lot!
Hi Leroy, the fuses can be bought on eBay but you tend to only get them in large amounts. I still sell the fuses if you are interested at £1.80 per fuse incl postage to UK mainland. Message me if you are interested.
Would it not be less stressful on the legs if, when you are about to remove the filling from between them, to snip off the head of the fuse, then dig it out from between the remaining legs. Thus eliminating any pressure on them?
Hi, upon some repairs I have found the legs burnt and snapped deep in the glue. Doing it this way saves the hassle in having to do the repair twice incase this is the case.
Do you ship to South Africa
Hi I'm a new civic owner and my mirrors don't fold do you repair the set if I send them i know this video is 2 years old
Hi Simon how do I send to you for repair if needed to
Great video! What are the specs of the fuse? I don't live in the UK and buying them from you wouldn't be an option. Thanks for the help.

Hi very good video but I was wondering when you solder the new fuse dose it not make difference which legs you solder the legs a positive or negative. side's
Hi Balbir, this my thoughts when I first started doing this but the fuses are reversible.
Great vid! If the mirror doesn't fold at all will this repair help or is it something mores serious?
Hi, if the mirror isn’t folding at all then there is a good chance this repair will solve it. You should be able to tell as soon as the remove the SOD and see it’s condition.
@@badeyeukhi how do I send you a pair to
Repair ?
Simon what's the value of the caps
Hi Simon i have an issue with my mirrors where they actually fold out too much basically it doesnt stop at the correct point. Do you think i might have the issue with the SOD or something else?
Hi Darrell, the issue you’re having sounds like a broken stop pin. The mirror has a plastic pin that basically stops the mirror from folding too far in itself. I’ve never repaired this fault or know if it can be repaired, could be a new mirror.
@@badeyeuk Ah no worries thanks for getting back to me Simon, I'll pick up a 2nd hand mirror from somewhere.
Hi do you still do these repairs? What is the cost please as neither of my power mirrors on my honda crv mk2 on a 54 plate work.
Hi John, sorry this fix is only for the Honda Civic and no the CRV.
Think I’ll buy a poly fuse from you,since you know what type it is,can you send a contact detail...
Hi Ken, if you could send payment via paypal to simonhammill@gmail.com and include your postal address, i'll get 2 fuses sent out to you. Cheers
Do you still provide this service? Thanks
MK6062 sorry I no longer provide this service as I just don’t have time anymore. However I do sell the fuses for £1.70 each plus free postage if you’re interested
Are you still providing repair service?
Hi, I no longer provide this service but I can still provide the fuses needed.
Hi can you ship to italy?
Ciao hai risolto?
É stato difficile?
Sto per cimentarmi nel lavoro.
Hi mate can you send me a fuse ?
Hi thanks can I get se fuses of you please 😉
Hi Matt, can you please email me how many you need and you postal address to simonhammill@gmail.com
why not just crush the old one then solder new one to remaining pins simple
This is what i thought, just waiting for my fuses to come in the post.
you could but the fuse would stick out too much and the mirror cap could hit it when putting it back on...
steve b I have a mk8 civic but I. Have a different sod with different plugs my mirror only moves about an inch or so when button pressed on passanger side could you repair my sod ?
harry sabin the Mk8 SOD does come in a couple of variations, the ones that the fuse cannot be seen I don’t think can be repaired, is this like yours?
simon hammill hi no I can see the fuse it’s all repaired I decided to try it and it worked thanks to your video helped a lot
