I have no clue what the change is actually but I can't help but wonder if they make improvements to the mirror for those that tow. The new mirrors are about $123 each from partsouq but only 12V versions are available new.
I saw this on posted another site and was reminded of your post here. Not sure what the change is exactly but this must explain why the older power mirror part numbers are being phased out. Perhaps the mirror was improved for towing purposes? If so, then getting the updated mirrors would be...
just the motors and the color of the wires. Externally the motors look the same except 12V is printed on the new motors. Old motors don’t say anything.

I don’t have photos but there are three screws that hold the chromed section down to the black base. Two of the screws are only accessible by removing the mirror assembly from the door while the third screw is seen on the exterior of the whole assembly.
These three screws seemed to suffer the...
Some more detail and how mirrors are secured to the motor. This may help anyone that needs to replace their 70 series power mirrors that are 24V. As far I know they are not available. This allows you to access the motor housing on the original 24V units and you can possibly swap the whole 24V...

I have an question regarding the 70 series power mirrors. I damaged the one on my right side the other day by hitting a pole while backing up and need to replace it. After taking apart the mirror, it seems like I can swap the 24V motors into a new 12V set for something like a VDJ76. Has...
