Wing mirrors

[Julie1]

Some advice please just took delivery of 2006 sc430.The wing mirrors  are not working properly. The motor is working but wont work the mirror the only way is another person  manipulating it while driver pushes the button

Any advice please

Was it a dealer sale? If so, ask them to fix it?

If not, a bit of silicon spray and a clean?

Hi Julie a lot of SC430's have a wing mirror problem, they should dip when you reverse. Mine are "jumping", caused by the plastic worm gears inside worn out, and slipping.

Some people have purchased a second hand mirror assembly and removed the worm gears "if OK" and refitted in their mirrors to get them working.

This thread mentions this common problem...https://forum.lexusownersclub.com/conversations/mirror-problem.4219/#convMessage-13515

If you adjust the mirrors and have the setting switch in the "middle position" it does on my car stop them moving.
