Has anyone else had an issue with the rubber seal on the mirror arm of a 2023> BZ GTi? As the seal on the offside arm where it runs under the folding mirror is torn. This seal is not cosmetic and is meant to prevent water from entering under the mirror and working its way down to the folding mirror mechanism.
I’m gonna raise a warranty claim for this and see what happens

Re: Mirror seal
Never experienced this in the 4 years I owned my 2020 Polo GTI+ which was a pre-facelift car, but the door mirror assemblies were the same as those on the current (facelift) car.

Re: Mirror seal
Can't say I have noticed this at all and had my pre-facelift 6 years already. My advice is to have it looked at under warranty to get it sorted.
Re: Mirror seal
It’s never happened to me before, even on the previous AW car, and the other side is fine. It’s not as if it’s a cosmetic issue because it’s designed to prevent water and dirt from being pushed underneath the mirror and working its way into the folding mirror mechanism. What I’m not sure about is the seal a separate item/part No or will it need a complete assembly replacement
