Mirror Motor Packed In?

[momo88]

I've done the folding mirror on locking the car mod, but i dont think it has anything to do with my problem.

Before i done the mod i could see that my driver side mirror folded in and out a lot slower than my passenger side one. And after the mod its still the same. I wasnt bothered by it, but now, when they fold out as i switch on the ignition the driver side mirror stops at a point. and i need to use the button to bring them in and back out. Using the button, it never stops half way. But i obv done the mod so i didnt have to use the button. Any ideas guys?

Thanks

Mo

I am having some similar problems with mine at the moment, folds in OK, but stops about half way folded out. Passenger side is fine though. Going to take the glass off today and take a look inside. There is a guide in the knowledge base of how to remove the glass.

Well I didnt take the glass out in the end..

A dose of WD40 helped but it was still stopping. So I took a paint brush and a lot of hot soapy water and brushed all around the joint. Then kept playing with the mirror open / close button helping the mirror round the point of sticking and using the brush on the joint... eventually the wing mirror started to open and close on its own, so I have put this down to a lot of grime in the mirror joint.

Fixed.
