<< Almost invariably, the wires that power the mirror servo and heater will have been cut where they go through the door in order to quickly remove the mirror from its previous home. This is because the wiring's harness plugs will not fit through the tiny aperture in the door, and the wiring is terminated at its other end inside the mirror mechanism. I'm not sure how VW attached the mirrors to the vans on the assembly line, but it seems they must have installed the plug connectors from inside the door after the wiring was threaded through the aperture and after the mirror was bolted to the door. >>

No, no, NO. Do NOT cut the wires. They will feed right through that small hole in the door. I've done this on mine.
