Thanks! My driver side mover folds in, the passenger does not.
I'll have to ask about this next time I'm at the dealer.

Easy Ed,

Awesome instructions...spot on. Mine were not working. I bought a set from DEWAXMAN and installed them per your instructions. Thank you for posting that.

Now I'll take my old ones apart and see if I can fix them as a spare.

I just bought a 2003 H2 with 65k miles on it and my motors were almost as rusty as yours.

Soaked the motors in WD40 for a day, cleaned everything up per the instructions, all is well now.

Took about 4 hours (not counting soak time)

Thanks!!

Congrats. I had to do mine again but they are still working at 86,000 or so miles

I'm in the process of fixing mine right now. Easy Ed's pictorial made the process very easy and without experiencing the usual feeling of, "what the heck am I going to break while trying to fix something else?" Thank you Easy Ed!

I squirted a bunch of Liquid Wrench in mine and the motor still will not turn after an hour or so. But it is good to know others have soaked their motors a long time without damaging the insulated windings.

To be continued . . . wish me luck.

Thanks, Ed. I would not have attempted this project without your instructions.

After 8 hours of squirting Liquid Wrench and then switching to WD-40 I finally got the motor to break free. I tested it with a 9-volt battery and it worked like a charm.

The only question I have is regarding the two fly-speck magnets. I removed them for safe keeping while working on the motor. Did you pay attention to the magnetic polarity when you put them back into their little holes? (I did.) I hope the magnets are strong enough on their own to keep them from flying out of the holes when the motor spins up. If they fly out, I will never find them again if they go into the gear box.

I put the mirror back on the door this morning. Works like new!
Easy Ed, thank you!
