my new supra has these folding wing mirrors, now its been in the garage due to the weather for about a week and i got in it today and pulled it out the garage and my drivers side wing mirror is just swing in the wind ........literally , i can still hear the motor going but its just not conected to the mirror for some reason

 

any ideas ?? think i will take it off and try and repair it tomorrow shouldnt be hard ( i hope) any one had similar problems ?

If You can hear the motor running then power must be getting to it, so i would say it would be the motor?

 

dont think its the motors like i can hear the motor turning it must be something between the motor and the mirror, i will let u all know tomorrow, if its somthing i can fix and pics are needed i will add them :D

My passenger side's exactly as Ro described, I can hear it trying and it moves a little bit but just won't fold. I've not been that bothered about it to take it somewhere to get looked at but I'm interested if it's a diy fix, keep us posted bud :)

My driver's side mirror makes a noise and moves a little but wont fold in completely without a little help, but i was told it was the connection of the terminals or something that just need cleaning?

 

Doh! I've got some spare mirrors in Gunmetal if needs be Steve

 

How comes you have spares?

Replaced the stock mirrors with some carbon Ganador ones

Are they hard to remove at all??

 

Its just that my driver's doesnt fold properly and they both have a bit of paint missing on them which bugs the crap out of me so i was thinking of either trying to fix them and respray them or try and get hold of another set! :)

Don't just smash it, all of these stuff is held by few screws! Mirror can be taken off if you push bottom of it and then put wide screwdriver trough the hole on the top and pull slightly - it is sitting on 2 or 3 clips. Be carefull to not loose 2 metal balls, which are between fixed and loose part of retracting mirror.

 

@Kopite

If Steve will be interested in drivers one, I would fetch passenger one as Jola lost passenger one in small brush with some speeding idiot.

Edit: Ah just noticed those are not retracting ones - oh well, need to search further...
