Clockwork is on a distinguished road
just replaced a Right Side mirror motor in about an hour last night.
the old one was tired and I could see it closing slower thna the left side, until it didnt close at all.
SO i replaced it with an OE motor and motor housing from a pick-your-part car lot (I actually grabbed like 6 of these motors years ago when at a yard, for future use, like last night).
installed and tested and works like a brand new mirror again. AND its just as fast as the left side, again. So, WOOHOO, for like $5. simple fix.
SO< remember, when at a pick your part yard... look for great condiition (no busted motor housings) motors and take them home for future use... cause you WILL need it, one day.
