O/s Wing Mirror Glass

[Pointer772001]

Hello everyone,

First post on here after saying hi in the newbies section...

I went to move my drivers mirror this morning and I can hear the motor trying to move the glass which it does in and out but when I try to tilt the glass up it clicks and returns to its original position again when it gets to a certain point it's like part of the glass has come away or unstuck from the motor.. Is this an easy fix? I don't really want to take it apart myself only had the car two days!

IIRC there are 2 mini motors in the mirror housing with small nylon drive cogs, it sounds like one of the gogs has worn.

I doubt individual parts will be available so maybe your best bet would be to obtain a good working secondhand unit and either swop the motor section or the casing.

The video link below shows how to take the mirror apart.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply, It does sound like that, it sounds like the cog is slipping when I move it.

Luckily I can get it in just the right position so its not hugely urgent, I will definately go second hand as I bet new they are loads money!
