redvault is on a distinguished road
Sorry, I did not have a camera handy. I have got as far as "lifting" the whole mirror unit off after unscrewing the three torx screws - thus exposing the motor unit. This was not necessary. The microswitch can be gently lever off from its "enclosure" and check whether it is faulty or not. If the mirrors can be electrically folded in and out, I can't see how the shop could not just replace the microswitch! All the rest of the mirror mechanical parts appear to be solidly build except for the microswitch - the metal piece hinge is, at best, dodgy. And replacing the microswitch should only take a couple of minutes once you managed to get the mirror cover off.
