Did GM ever make a power folding TOW mirror ? All I see is manual versions...

Wow theres now lots of improved replacement parts here that you otherwise would cost you a paycheck to buy entire assemblies from GM.

Just an FYI to help out the forum members

Is anyone having trouble with the 2015 versions of these mirrors yet ? I was going to swap mine over for the new style but not sure if that was also having these issues.

Not sure if anyone has seen this link yet but theres a bunch of nice parts in here now

Back in the day on here when power folding mirrors became an option, i predicted we'd see a lot of issues with them. I am glad to see I was wrong for once. I rarely see any posts with issues on them.

Seriously ? do a search lol. These power mirrors are total junk, I wouldnt touch them if you have them unless you want to fix them.

dont even manually fold them, that puts more stress than electronically folding.

well looks like I was wrong again!

jatkinson8755 · August 6, 2019

well just for fun .. go to any used truck dealer and ask to manually fold the power folding mirrors a few times on the lot. Watch the guys reaction lol. They have a shelf life of about 5 manual folds and if you do it hard you can break it in 1 fold. They are total junk but its just the gears and motor that are bad, rest of mirror is very durable.

Speaking of Ram, my buddy has a 2013 and his power folding mirrors also broke lol. Looks like a very similar set up as GM.

_{Just fYI - here is an excellent video on how to replace the shitty plastic gear and weak electric motor in there with a metal gear and high torque new motor}
