the very least amount of work i can see you needing to do is pop off the black circular disk on the bottom side of the mirror base and reinserting the mirror on to the base if the folding motor tabs are ok. this can be tricky as you insert the mirror to the base, then put a small amount of tension on the two pieces by twisting them and then you have to lift the mirror up away from the base and twist the mirror into position. its hard to describe, but if you find yourself using excess force you are doing it wrong. |

I wrapped up a few things and had some time to mess with taking the mirror motor assembly apart. I figured it was heat sealed and looked up headlight disassembly to give a starting point. It was clear that I ruined my motor housing pretty quickly and didn't seem like a good solution to try and take it apart. Ultimately, it did pop apart, so using the base line below, it may come apart with minimal damage.
If i were to do this over id say set the oven to 350 and leave it in the preheated oven for 10 ~ 12 minutes and see if it comes apart. i used a long flat 5 in 1 paint tool to pry the casing halves apart. That being said the repair gear that is pictured on amazon does look different than the gear that is inside the housing but it still may work. Doing this to save $100; eh it seems debatable (how long will the new setup last if you just slap it together & don't seal it up, how do you seal it up, did the housing get damaged beyond repair, etc) Ive taken a bunch of photos of the mirror motor assembly and posted them in my Instagram page, just swipe thru the photos. if you have any questions i will try to answer them to the best of my ability. If you do take a motor apart post up and let us know what temp and how long you left it in for. Last edited by Luckystrike24; 07-25-2020 at 04:27 PM.. |
