VW Door Mirror Switch - Genuine VW 1J195956501C

Product Information

A door mirror switch is the control button or joystick, usually located on the driver’s door panel, that allows adjustment of the side mirrors. It sends electrical signals to the mirror motors to move the glass up, down, left, or right. Some switches also control power-folding mirrors or heating functions. Over time, wear on the switch contacts, wiring, or internal components can lead to malfunctions.

• Unresponsive mirror adjustment – mirrors don’t move when the switch is operated.
• Intermittent or limited function – mirrors only move in some directions or require repeated attempts.
• Loose or damaged switch – physical play, sticking, or visible wear that prevents proper operation.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
