Sound like this fix takes some patience. It is always a little scary when removing things that have plastic tabs and not breaking them. I remember when i took the front bumper off and was being very careful not to break any plastic tabs. (there are two on each side of the bumper) anyways thanks for the info and i hope ill have folding mirrors soon!! |

Thanks for the info!
I did this fix yesterday. Such an easy fix for such a handy feature. The picture below is to give anyone attempting this a better perspective. I was a bit confused with the first pic or two in the original post as to what I was looking at. The switch is located under the plastic piece with the X.

I started by removing the plastic frame in the front. I dislodged the bottom first then the right side, then top. The painted cover is not too bad. Getting it back on was a bit more of a pain that removal. Initially you have to be a little forceful to get the thing started, but then its easy. Once you got a side open, just go slow, and don't force it, because you will break the plastic clips.

Messing around with that pin switch worked for me! Ugh! What a pain. And getting the covers off was really difficult until I saw the trick where you start by pulling the bottom of the front cover off and around the base plastic. Thank God for XOutpost. You guys just saved me $1k.

Thanks for the updated pics! I too will be joining this club I suppose. One day at work I came out and noticed I hadn't pulled my mirrors in when I arrived. Jumped in and noticed that the passenger side mirror was flipped out from someone walking by and whacking it. Damnit! Go figure, the day I didn't fold them in... So mine are folding in but the passenger side folds in and then instead of stopping it clicks three or four times and then stays folded. Unfolds without a problem. Just the folding in that clicks at the end. I've not seen anyone else post that symptom so I'm hoping it's the same thing or at least something to do with the switch.

The fix outlined in this thread worked perfectly.... that is until I get passengers who seem to love SLAMMING MY FUCKING DOORS. This always dislodges the switch.
I need to find a way to fasten the switch better...
