Aftermarket mirrors- no power fold?

[cecil-1]

Well my 03 mirrors crapped out on me so I have been looking to replace em.
My local GM parts want over $600 each so i started looking for aftermarket ones.
I havent been able to find any with the power fold option..Anyone know of any aftermarket mirrors with power fold?
Or am i stuck buyin the OEM...

In what way did they crap out, if you search the forums there's a way to clean up the gearing to get them to fold again.

I replaced mine once with GM mirrors off of Ebay, they crapped out also. Give it time and you will realize they don't have to work, you can still see what is behind you

By power fold are you talking folding them into the sides to tuck them away or the reverse curb view?

The only time I ever tuck my mirrors away is in the car wash, other than that I don't mess with them for the simple fact of not wanting to spend the money for replacements one day.

My mirrors didnt fold in when i bought the truck three years ago.
I took them apart to clean up the rust and crud after reading the thread on here about it but unfortunately the previous owner had moved them by hand too many times and the gears were toast.
The pass side mirror gave out about 6 months ago and wouldnt move at all up/down left/right.
Now the drivers side is acting up and I decided to start looking for replacements.
I like the idea of getting the power fold option for when parking in tight parking lots but i havent been able to find any aftermarket ones that have the P/F option. I just wanted to ask here if anyone had found any before I give GM $1300 for theirs.

Yeah, mine both quit folding about 6 months ago, but the drivers side also quit going up and down at the same time.
It's annoying that they don't do what their trained to do, but thank goodness I don''t really need the fold option, and the up/down is out on the drivers side so I can manually adjust.
Right now it's just an annoyance, but I am curious if the only option is to replace with costly factory stuff.

Well I couldn't find any aftermarket mirrors with the power fold.
The local gm parts gave me a deal on a pair of oem mirrors for $835

if you buy them, make sure they are the upgraded ones. they will have Hummer on the back of the mirror. they are standard with the 06 models on.
they may have to have the wiring spliced to work properly, but do not accept the old ones at all.

also, you can find new-ish mirrors on ebay for $300 ish.

i am having issues with my mirrors, and have been wondering if mirrors from a tahoe/escalade would work? or maybe gutting the motors and rebuilding my old mirrors with them.

i havent taken the morror to inspect the gear motors, but i have also wondered if the parts that are worn down can be fabbed up with more durable parts...
