The black bits are used for the windows. Metal is used for the mirrors as it is actually powering the mirrors dirrectly.

I would take the top off the switches again, and then go back out to the car with just the bottom half and membrane. Plug it in.

Then press the nobbles for the mirror. For each dirrection there are two, and you need to press both down for the mirror to work. See if you can get any life out of the mirrors. If you can then you just need to clean it up well off the car.

DON'T PRESS UP AND DOWN AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH. OR LEFT/RIGHT

Remove any residue of WD40.

If you have time I would wash the membrane with a small amount of fairy liquid and dry well, to get rid of wd40.
