@pepsi thanks, going to go to a friendly garage and ask them to undo the seatbelts as have removed the back row of seats.

@rhys.carp, hoping to fix existing aerial as not keen on running yet more wires around as got enough to run anyway so going to search on here for tips. Will update

Fitted some new life mirrors from germany (not oem one's) can't fault them for the price I payed.
but they are LHD one's so the mirror adjustment is on the limit. Just need to get the primed mirror caps colour coded.ImageImage

@james400 thats a nice bit of fabrication, where and how is that going to sit in relation to your prop shaft etc? Is it replacing the Tiguan tank you used with the 4 motion conversion? Really cant wait to see this finished, great work

Took the driver's door mirror apart, found the aerial ribbon, looks all ok and connected 😔
Looks like I'm going to have to fit a new aerial elsewhere 😔
