wing mirrors tilting up and down issue

[finest1]

hi all, i hope you all are doing well

i have an issue with my passenger mirror. it won't tilt up or down. left and right is fine, although a touch slow.

i followed this guide right to the letter, and no joy. what next?  

 

when i try to move the mirror up and down i can hear a "click" but no movement

 

thanks in advance

Usually means that grease on gears is either dirty on thickened-up throughout the years. When mine started going slow and I just sprayed WD40 inside, moved it by hand in all directions to loosen-up the gears and that was enough. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove the glass and inspect what is happening inside, clean gears, use nice new grease and see if that helps. Worst case scenario you have dead motor with moves the mirror up and down, but because you say you hear clicking I assume it still works, just for some reason cannot overcome friction on the gears.

hi thanks for your response,  i took the mirror apart and cleaned the gears and lubricated with lots of WD40 just to be sure
