Hi, my problem is that the right side mirror does not brake, it keeps opening until it touches the car have you encountered this problem, do you know what needs to be changed?

Default How was it resolved?

Both glasses did this at same time first go round and this time as well.
I have the same thing going on with my mirrors. I've been told it is the excess heat but in 10 years that I've had the car it never happened.
I dont know if it is related but they also found the interior lights when on auto position drain my battery. So now I have to keep on off position.

What was the issue and how was it resolved? What was the cost?

That is usually traced back to water intrusion via clogged sunroof drains or compromised windshield seal onto affected ECU under the dash.

About 2 weeks after the battery drainage diagnosis I had water come through passenger visor/ mirror area. Not much but it has never happened before.

So what kind of repair am I looking for? How costly and what kinda guarantee that once repaired won't happen again? Car still runs great at 180,000 miles but if I have to put money into something like this I'm contemplating trading it in for something newer.

Probably need a Techstream, scan to confirm ECU…probably Body Control Module is partially damaged as mirrors connect to that.

I don’t recall anyone posting work order on what specific ECU was replaced. Interior light should be controlled by that as well

around a $700 new ECU and mirrors are probably $150 or so each plus labor costs

Default Mirror does not stop when it unfolds until it’s parallel

Have this problem with my driver side mirror not stopping when it unfolds. What is the fix?

Same problem I had, replace the motor. There's a link to an overseas seller above. Can be a PITA to change, I had 3 body guys say they couldn't do it an to replace the whole Mirror Assembly, $500-$700 depending on year and model and availability or used if you can find it. I have a Indy I use that can "Fix" things. Took him about 30 minutes.

Dealer replaced the mirror (except for the body-coloured cover) and all is good now. And it wasn't cheap... oh well
