Well, I had hoped the search would provide an answer, but I could not find anything. I suppose I'll have to ask a new question! Anyway, here goes.....
I got the power folding mirrors for my S14 (color matched and everything!) wired them up and they worked fine. However, I had them folded in at my work, and someone walked by and I guess they thought they had bumped it shut. They then proceeded to force the drivers side mirror open. I guess that when they did it stripped the gears, or ruined the motor or something. The passenger side still folds fine, and both mirrors still adjust. The drivers side just makes a whirring/buzzing/grinding noise whenever I attempt to fold them.
Anyway, I paid good money for these, and I like the car colored triangle bases and all, so I want to fix them. Has anyone ever disassembled these? Is the motor or gears replaceable? Any assistance would be great!
