Many thanks for this guide. It took me about an hour to fix it. Before my mirror was going up and down just like yours now it goes straight down, but it goes so low I am thinking is it normal ? I was trying to revers and nearly hit the wooden fence case all I could see was just the ground not actually things behind the car. Before the fix when mirror was swinging up and down after a while it was settling in a position I could see the wheel and actually things behind the car. Now it goes so low all I can see is the ground. It looks like to revers I have to switch this off and only turn it on when parking next to carbs. Hiw does it work on yours does it go so low. I wonder is there any chance to adjust how low the mirror will go ?

Many thanks again

So I did this no problem but reverse tilt doesn't work now. I can adjust it through the mirror switch but nothing happens in reverse. It moved once but that's it and it tilted all the way down.

and yes the switch is to the driver not passenger.

Did you unplug anything before starting? Sometimes it takes a while for the electronics to readjust

Lol. I just happened to get both of these problems. My mirror clicks when closing, like it skips a gear. Sometimes closes opens again, and my reverse tilt is bugging out. I have a feeling I have a project on my hands.
