Couldnt find anything on it..

Over the last few months i have noticed my driver one has been slower than the pass side. This morning i went to unfold them to find the driver one didnt budge >.<'

It was bloody cold outside and i had to push it. This happened to anyone else? Pressuming its just the motor, but what sort method would be required to mend this? Or do i need to buy a whole new mirror?

There's a small portion of that guide I should update. I found a much easier way of threading the wires...

Both of mine died. The passenger one died first and was the one I replaced in the guide. The driver's side got worse and worse and was replaced when I changed both wing mirrors for heated ones. Swapped the new LH motor though... ;)

Thanks for the reply but still cant get that link to work, also having trouble getting onto the forum so maybe my computer?
On boxing day it appears to have fixed itself, or as ive shoved it out its fixed it somehow. Wouldnt mind swapping the motors though before it packs up again

Nicely's new link works fine for me. One of mine plays up randomly but a gentle nudge whilst its moving usually sorts it.. Definitely not often enough to take it to bits yet!

As far as I am aware they are standard item on spec Rs and spec S, also were on my Toyota glanza V guessing Japanese people love there fold in mirrors.
