2013 CT200h Power Folding Mirror not working

[mediaeasier]

Hello,

2013 CT200h Power Folding Mirror passenger has stopped folding. When press mirror fold button it tries but only moves a tiny bit. I'm guessing the internal gears have lost teeth and was wondering if anyone has info on how to remove the mirror and disassemble it? Thx in advance

Try spraying it with some wd40 first before doing anything else

ok thanks, would I need to pop the mirror out? if so what best way to remove??

No just try and spray it behind the glass mirror using the red straw/tube that usually comes with the wd40 can and see if that resolves your issue

Behind the mirror glass will reveal nothing but the mirror mount.The Black housing will need to be removed to get to inside the mirror assembly.The glass will need to be removed and then there are 4 screws which fit the housing to the cover.

When i did mine make sure the mirror is at its lowest postion pointing down then gently pry from the top gap outwards but do it centred.There is quite a lot of resistance but it will come off its mounting.Don,t use any hard force otherwise it will break.

This will give you an idea.
