Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a power mirror switch on this 2001 Volkswagen Beetle, it's the same part and similar process on these Beetles from '98 to 2010. The items you'll need for this are a new power mirror switch from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screwdriver, T20 Torx driver, and a Phillips screwdriver.
Start off by prying off this panel on your pull handle. Behind that there are two Phillips screws. Just go ahead and remove both of those. At the bottom of the door panel, there are three T20 Torx bolts. We'll go ahead and remove those three. Now, you just want to pull out on the panel just around the edge. Any screws that you loosened up all the way but wouldn't pull out entirely, they will fall out now, so just keep an eye on where they go. When all the clips are free except the top of the door panel, you just want to reach up here and pull it out of the track and pull it forward.
On the back of your door panel, you'll see a bunch of harnesses. Just push the tab and pull the harnesses free. For your door handle cable, just pull it out of the bracket and then unhook it. Just disconnect this harness for your door lock. For these two larger harnesses down here, you just want to pry them free with a flat blade screwdriver. Now, then just push the tab on this harness and disconnect your courtesy light.
Flip over your door panel and then pry out on these tabs on either side of your power mirror switch, and at the same time, you want to apply pressure to the back of the switch to help push it through and it pulls out.
Take your new switch and you have to line it up so that's going straight up and in and then just push it up into place.
To reinstall your door panel, just reconnect each of those harnesses. Then reclip your door handle cable and just push it back into that bracket and make sure you reconnect your courtesy light. Now, put the door panel back into the track and then just push it down. Then just hit in the clips around the edge of the door panel and then replace those three T20 screws and the two Phillips screws and the pull handle. Just replace that panel and hit into place and you're all set.

OUTSTANDING Service! Broke the switch on Saturday, ordered the part on Sunday and it was in my mailbox on Thursday. Changed out the part in 90 minutes following the YouTube video. Saved about $150. These guys are now my New Beetle's go-to resource for parts!
Quick Satisfactory Process

This unit fit the available space snugly and snapped right into place. Haven't had a chance to try the heated mirrors position. Matches old control unit.
Works great!

Haven't tried the defroster option, but the switch overall works great!! Installation gave me a bit of a hard time, but with a bit of filing down, it went in pretty easily!
Functions as advertised.
