My passenger mirror works fine. The driver side mirror can move left and right but not up and down. I know changing the mirror would solve the problem, but is there any DIY to fix this? Even if I could somehow lodge the mirror in the position I want would work since I'm the only one that drives it.

no, you most likely grinded a gear... and the gears are plastic... what I would do, is source down a shop or something, to see if they can replicate that broken gear in a metal version, at least that's what i'm going to do when mine's breaks

Yeah, I turned off my auto-tilt reverse feature after already having both mirrors replaced once under warranty. Now I only turn it on when I parallel park on streets with curbs which is only a few times a month... same thing with the fold in mirrors; though i don't think anyone's had problems with that gear yet.

Open the drop down with the mirror adjustment buttons. Press the L or R side of the mirror adjustment that is currently light. Now neither side of the button should be lit, and the mirrors will not adjust when the vehicle is in reverse.

I had a same issue. My passenger side mirror does not go up and down. I performed mirrors and windows reset procedure and it started working fine.
I forget how to reset but search the forum, you will find it. try this before you spend money to get a new one. Hope this helps.
