Vendor Suma Blind Spot Side Mirrors

[jkoya]

Everyone will get a USPS tracking number when they are shipped out from our US location. They will ship to our US location first. From here, it will take 2-3 business days to get to your door step (along with the USPS tracking number).

Thank You for the information !

Mirrors are en route! They will arrive in US by Friday the16th and be mailed out to you. Expect to receive a USPS tracking number by this Saturday, and you will receive your mirrors in the beginning of the following week.

Excellent, really looking forward to these. I park in an urban 16 car shared garage where the maneuvering tolerances are too tight for the sensors to be useful (they go alert crazy), these mirrors are going to be very helpful!

I just got mine in the mail. Are there better videos on the proper way to install them?

 

[jkoya]

Got mine today also, but haven't had the chance to open the box yet....

Received mine as well. No need for better videos. PnP 10 minute job including optional OCD masking and plastic trim removal tool use.

@SumaPerformance - Was I supposed to get any documentation at all with the mirrors ?

I'll see if we can make one, but we don't have one now.

No document unless it has the turn signal feature.

So quick question: how did @SumaPerformance get the OEM defroster wiring to reach the connectors on the Suma mirrors? They appear to be on the opposite side when compared with the OEM versions.



There is not enough slack to connect the wires across the housing.



I ended up taping off the wiring for now, but I would love to find out how to connect the defrosters properly.

Any tips?

The mirrors are held in with friction -- four clips around the perimeter of the circular piece on the rear of the glass.

I tilted the mirrors as inward as possible, to expose an edge to put my fingers behind.

Then I pulled towards the rear of the vehicle to release the mirror from the mount.

Installing the new mirror was as simple as aligning it within the house and pressing towards the front of the vehicle until the mirror "snapped" into place. For what it's worth it took a lot more force to remove the OEM mirror than installing the new mirror.

Good luck!

@Manksgloob thanks for the advice. @SumaPerformance i'm also very interested in your response here. I bought the version with the defroster and if it's not possible to install that would not be good.

 

[SumaPerformance]

@substance12 @Manksgloob This is what you do.
1. Find a Torx screw driver (size T10)
2. Unscrew the 3 screws, highlighted in Red.
3. Move the defroster wire near where the Suma Pins are
4. Put the three screws back.

Looking forward to receiving my mirrors with the defrost function and having smaller blindspots.

 

[Manksgloob]

This is what you do...

Thanks for the tips @SumaPerformance

I’m afraid even by unscrewing the motor from the mount I still don’t have enough slack to run the defroster wires to the opposite side of the mirror housing.

Any other ideas?

Also, do you happen to know what month/year that your test vehicle was built?




Thanks again!

Thanks again!

We'll make the extension wires and mail them to you and others who already purchased the mirrors.

We are talking to our wire vendors now and will provide more details next week about when they will become available. We tested on Model S, thinking that the were the same name, our mistake. The new mirrors will come with the extension wires. Sorry for the inconvenience in the time being!

Thanks !! Will you email us when they physically ship ??

Yes!. First, I'll notify you when we've confirmed the expected deliver by next week (checking with our wire vendor), followed by a second email notifying when the extension wires are physically shipped, thank you all for the understanding and patience!
