The (most recent) side mirror rehash

[PropellerHead]

First of all.. the question:

Does anybody *really * care ab automatic folding mirrors? I mean, I get it. It's like the air suspension. F'it, right? Well.. I dunno.. I liked learning to tow and doing it with the air suspension. Air suspension stays. It was like that when new. Like the side view mirrors.. They should fold. They should not wobble. They should stay in place when asked. That shit oughta just work.

Now, about side view mirrors that stay in place? This fix only took me 5 years cause I have aspheric glass. Without it, I would have long ago changed lanes into a Buick. Anyway. I recently used bits from my own mirror, stuff I picked from a yard, and an eBay mirror to achieve the Holy Grail- Power folding side view mirrors that stay in place on an E53. If they had an Ohhhh-gasm emojii, I would use it. It's as satisfying a thing as I have done in awhile.

I got eBay mirror motor and gears in today. I found a $10 gear set on Amazon for the mirror arms (both sides). I really do thing that this fix will solve wobbly mirrors, folding mirrors that wont stay folded, and that terrible grinding noise when we try to fold them in.

Maybe nobody else has twin E53's with broke -a$$ sideview mirrors. That's OK. But As I have aluded in another thread.. The Prohpecy speaks of a man with 2 repaired N62 seals and water pipe... who then achieves operational wing mirrors. On them *BOTH*.

Look. I dunno ab you guys, but I just want to stop my wife from b!tchin. If I happen to be the lynch pin for the 4th horseman of the Apocalypse.. well so be it... A wife who's b!tchin ab her mirrors being floppy will make me beg for the relief that is... Famine. Pestilance.. War...

And an E53 with fully functional wing mirrors.

Anyway.. Like I like to do when I learn something, I can't WAIT to tell people about it... So.. If You wanna know ab stable wing mirrors on auto-folding E53's.. come along... I have had fun learning. I hope you do as well.
