Fixing auto-folding tow mirror position


Recommended Posts

Long story short, got pinched on a narrow street with people parked on the side of the road and wound up swiping another vehicle's mirror with my passenger side's own.  Tow mirror wound up slapping and denting the passenger door right below the window and bounced back the other way.  The tow mirror in itself other than the contact point of where the plastic portion hit the other mirror isn't damaged, works fine, LEDs and turn signals work fine. 

 

Body shop is repairing the door and mentioned they noticed the mirror manually folded in contacts the door... hoping I that it's nothing more than losing it's home position and resetting it back since the contact but know it could possible be a hard stop issue.

 

Anyone dealt with anything like this before?  Any idea on an easy fix for this if a mechanical fix needs to be implemented?

Apparently GM did.

 

From OM:

 

Resetting the Power Folding Mirrors
Reset the power folding mirrors if:
. The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while folding.
. They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
. The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
. The mirrors vibrate at normaldriving speeds.
Manually fold both mirrors if they are out of sync.

Fold and unfold the mirrors three times using the mirror controls to reset them to their
normal position.

A popping noise may be heard. This sound is normal after a manual folding operation.
