More E90 (E93) Mirror Problems

Mark625s · 10-17-2024, 10:48 AM

I had the folding mirror problem that seems pretty common, and followed most of the advice online to fix it. One day, the mirror magically locked into place and readjusted itself. Here's the situation now: The right mirrow folds/adjusts normally. The left mirror doesn't fold and cannot be adjusted by the buttons on the door, however, when switching postions with the seat memory, the mirror does move. So I know the motor and connections are good. Any ideas?

Unclip the Mirror with a Trim Remover Tool.
Then unbolt the Motor and clean the Pins. You can spray some Electric / Contact Grease and Everything should be fine !
