Hi all, in this post I will show you what is the culprit when side mirror cannot auto-flip.
First we need to remove the mirror by pry from below. Do it carefully
Then remove 4 screw that hold side mirror cover.
Here what it will look like after that we removed the cover.
Remove 3 nuts from the inside, and the screws at the bottom.
Then we can remove another 3 screws that cover up the flip mechanism.
Here is what it look like inside the cover.
This green gear broke and loosen. So I've found the culprit. I use epoxy glue to glue up the gear to the motor shaft. You can see the crack line along the gear.
And here is another type of side mirror that have a same problem but different culprit. In this case, the culprit is clip of the cover for the flip mechanism has broke. This picture and guide are taken from Encik Rosso, that I have known from 4AEOC. He just use a cable tie to fix it. Simple yet effective.
