I can confirm that this wiring does *not* work as shown on my 88 NA, as the vertical operation is reversed if you wire with the single ground (it also looks mis-wired as the the black lead clearly connects to the right-most motor conductor on the original at 1:27, however he has soldered the black/brown to that lead on the new assembly at 4:01).
I had to de-solder and remove the new 3-pin leads, and wire the original 4 wires identically to the stock setup to get it to operate properly. This was actually better as the wires then exit properly out of the backplate and closer to the hole in the mirror frame properly.
I'm honestly at a loss how this worked properly on his 944 as he shows it.

white/brown & black/brown are common (ground) white, black are positive. (12vdc) at end of video you can see corrections were made, but edits were not

Look up m4 mirror motor and you'll find plenty for around a tenner as it seems to be a pretty universal part across V.A.G, Renault and Ford

It would appear 87-89 Ford Mustangs used the same mirror motor. Found my way here looking for s replacement and it appears the VW part is the answer

Mike I’ve got the same problem but still need to find out what vehicle make and model the VW part came off. Did you have any luck?

[@davidircameron]

+1 on the VW part number or is it just the same electric motor used in say a golf of similar vintage i.e. 1991
