Term, I was thinking about you and those cameras. There is a cavern of an open space in the existing powerfold bracket. (About the size of a 540 electric motor). Was eyeing it for a barrel cam location.
At first I had tried to repair the powerfold motor and gears (set from eBay) that made a difference but the gearing was still loose and slipping. So onto plan B of swapping entire powerfold unit. Hardest part was removing and reinstalling the door panel. First test showed and the mirror would fold in and the bounce back out. Quick fix of metal lever on the micro switch in the bracket did the trick.
For tonight Beast keeps his ears. Once again electric folding. And now with euro spec glass on both sides. Wow it really opens up the view. So much for hyper-miles, for now.
