AS Devon on Mercedes Sprinter Chassis

Hi,
Just had mirror indicator lens replaced by Mercedes Commercial Dealer after mirror-to-mirror clunky 'meeting' with a truck!
The mechanics said that it is possible to get mirror arms that fold-in electrically. We had these on our old VW Trooper & they were really useful both on narrow roads & also on site to avoid walking into them. Stupid or what?

Just wondered had anyone heard of these being retro-fitted? Nothing useful on Google tho' the tech guy at the garage is also looking & seemed confident.
As a PS we were able to replace the basic radio with a higher spec Merc radio that complies with their diagnostics system BUT that was through a specialist supplier-wonder if this is likely to be the same?

I have to go in to Mercedes Commercial on Monday I will ask if they know anything about it .... still struggling to find some front mudflaps for my Worcester, nothing fits so will probably end up making some!

They don't make electric fold-in mirror arms. However, a good squirt with WD40 means the mirrors are a lot easier to fold in & nearside mirror survived a mirror to mirror clonk. Maybe I need an advanced driving course!

I have a 2008 Devon and my mirrors don't appear to fold at all, am I being too gentle !?

Yes, you are too gentle. They are quite stiff, 3 or 4 position to fold against the window.

I wish they did electric fold ones.

Please don't forget that the mirrors are not the only "sticking out bits", the coach-built body is not much narrower than those mirrors and a damned sight more expensive to replace. It is easy to forget that, sitting in that "narrow" Merc cab. :-)

A very useful post.
Our mirrors were locked solid
A bit of brute force and WD40 and they are now fine
Thank you
