Hey all, does anyone know how or where to remove the black wire that runs to the electric mirrors?
I'm replacing the electric mirrors with some non-electric ones but I might want to swap them back eventually so I'd prefer not to cut them.
Any help would be ace.

How much for the electric mirrors/switches and wires?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

This is not a great idea. Electric mirrors are a signficant improvement on manual adjusted mirrors. If you are hell bent on doing this you simply cut the wires and put some insulation tape on the ends and they can be re joined ( with male / female connections or soldering etc to reverse the process)

Bloody vultures!
If I pull it all out, it's all yours Dave.
Edit: It's all good Morty, I guarantee I'll have better visibility with my new mirrors.
I got sick of waiting for a response so I decided to yank em out, and what do you know? There's little plugs at the end of the wires that un-clicked once yanked.
All worked out.

Yeah you just unplug them. Unfortunately my cousin cut the bloody wires on mine before I had a chance to unplug them, so I made him solder the wires back together
