Floppy / broken passenger electric wing mirror

Post by MarkX50 » Sun Jan 19, 2020 2:39 pm

Yet another problem- seems like 3 per week at the moment!! Now the passenger folding or rows broken - it won’t fold in and out by the button, and when I manually move it’s just floppy. Anyone know if it’s a self fix for a novice or If you think a garage would be best?

Might be some videos on U-tube. Dealer will want to fit a new one, and their prices are absolutely ridiculous for parts and labour. Even the mirror glass alone can be well over £300 :x :o mirror units are hundreds each.

E53 mirror units were being stolen to order because of the cost, with the folding system failure being the most likely ‘requirement’ for them.

Newtis.info might give clues as the what to look at. Probably just a piece of plastic has gone.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
