Hello as above some Bellend hit my drivers side mirror when parked.

Took a fair wack as top section housing cracked and glass shattered. Now it does not fold either way.

When I click the button i hear the motor move, only for a second then stop.

Ive pushed the mirror right back and tried again and the same. I though with the wack, the mirror may be jammed closed or open.

Any ideas? Is it possible to repair ? I dont want to shell out £180 for a new mirror assembly cant really afford that. Searched for videos etc but nothing similar found.

Any help advice would be greatfully recieved.

If the fold mechanism has been damaged, then a replacement mirror will be needed. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

How can I tell if its broken. ( i know that sound silly) The mirror has full movement open and closed and there is power going to it. I wonder if its jammed or something like that.

Can you physically fold and unfold the mirror by hand? They have a two position detent to allow manual folding when struck, after which the mirror can either be folded out manually again, or the detent will lock back into the folding mechanism if the mirrors are set to fold on the buttons. If it's failing to move on the buttons or when locking the vehicle, then the gearbox of the folding mechanism has probably been damaged by the impact. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

One of mine was hit, cover was broken, glass popped off, but it didn't work. They are fragile things. Was replaced by insurance due to other driver.

You just have to pull it apart as best as possible & have a poke around.

Screws inside the door holding it on (acoustic insulation is my addition)

Any idea where the gears are situated?

Does anyone know where I can get the Plastic Housing the top and bottom? All I can see are chrome or stick on ones.

You’ll need to buy a used mirror assy I’m afraid. The only (easily) replaceable part is the actual mirror. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

Autoglass helpfully broke one of mine while changing a windscreen.
It cost (them) over £400 to replace at a Landrover dealer and that was a basic grey plastic mirror on a GS, no puddle lights or colour coding 😬 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
