Hey All,
I keep our "beast" in a smallish garage that has just enough space to fit our 2020 XLT. My wife is the main driver and often folds the mirrors in to make sure she clears the entrance to the garage. With the colder weather and snow, we've just recently started pulling it in every night.
Today, I went to leave and, heard a good crunch on the passenger side as the mirror was pushed back and folded the opposite way. The damage appears to be minimal, but here are the issues I created:
- The mirror feels "loose" in the housing. It also will not track straight. I hit the right arrow and it tracks up and to the right. I hit left and it tracks down and to the left. Up and down seem "OK", but I haven't tested extensively.
- There was some deformation of the plastic housing, as evidenced by both the painted cap and the lower black trim not snapping completely back into the black trim ring that goes around the mirror glass. I was able to get the painted cap to snap back in... but the lower black trim doesn't seem to want to go back.
So... looking for any help on:
1. Is there a way to re-set the mirror motor or something to see if its just out of sync with the buttons, etc. I'm wondering if that's why its tracking weird
2. If not the sync on the motor, how do I get the glass off to see if I can replace the mirror motor? Does anyone have a link to the motor and is it replaceable without the whole mirror assembly?
3. I've seen a few videos replacing the mirror cap, but none that talk about the bottom black trim. If I get the glass off, is there a way to pull the other pieces off so I can try and get them to go back together within that black mirror glass trim ring?
Thanks for the help!
