Good day everybody

By 2013 cl 500 has developed a problem with the drivers wing mirror.

It now won’t close. I can hear a motor trying but it won’t close so I have to manually fold it in. It also feels extremely loose to the touch.

The glass inside still moves when you adjust from inside. Just a problem with the actual unit closing.

Ideas anyone ?

Many thanks
 
If you can hear the motor working I would guess that something in the mirror has become dislodged, either the spindle or a gear possible worn or broken. You're going to have to strip the mirror down to see. I hate to think what the cost of a new mirror for a 216 would be!
