Power Folding Mirrors Help-, pass. mirror get stuck on closing Options

[eggman40]

wired mine up today and the drivers side opens and closes perfectly. My pass. side opens perfectly but on the close cyle it get stuck. i hear a clicking sound like its the plastic gear thats slipping. Unless i help it close, it will continue to click continuously. Took it appart but didnt know how to get into the gearbox...


any suggestions? maybe grease in a certain spot? was i screwed on my mirrors?? thanks for any help.

this is indeed the way to fix a bad folding mirror. I had to do the same thing with mine. I also had one of the gears inside pop out of its place a little bit, try this first and if it still does it then check into the gearbox.

I know it's a weird questions Azn, but could this also be the issue with a sunroof? I have the exact same clicking sound, whether it's retracting or opening really.

yes it could be a gear slipping like this or even a stripped gear itself
