Drivers side mirror not working
« on: January 04, 2018, 09:27:53 pm »
The drivers side mirror no longer folds when you press the button.  The passenger side is fine, but the drivers side won’t do anything.  The motor could be heard running when you folded the mirrors.  I took it to a local garage over Xmas but given the Xmas holidays they couldn’t fix it. But they did disconnect the motor so it won’t keep running. 

The local garage have quoted me £150 all in to replace the mirror (including fitting).  Is that a good price or would I be able to fix it my self?

Have any of you fixed / replace a wing mirror?  Is it easy?

Thanks all

I suspect that somebody has hit the mirror. I would re-connect the motor, close/open the mirrors manually and try again with the button. If that does not fix it, I would lubricate the mechanism. If nothing works, I would forget about it and close it manually. I do not think it is worthy the £150.
