NausetDog Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi All, Sorry for the dupliacte post, I forgot to turn on my reply email notification! My 2002 Lexus left/drivers side mirror isn't folding inwards properly when I have set on auto and turn the car off. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it only partially folds in. Is this something I can fix myself? Thanks, NausetDog ellismr@charter.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Very simple, Silicone spray the black rubber around the mirrors, at the base,every year. Works like a charm. :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Do it before it burns the motor which is a common problem on the 430 mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NausetDog Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Maybe I didn't explain properly, or I misunderstand your fix. The mirrors themselves adjust just fine. The thing that's not working is the entire mirror housing itself isn't folding in when I push the switch on the dash to the left of the streeing wheel. They get hung up when set to automatic & I turn the key off, and also when I push the switch to manually fold them both in. Does your silicone spray fix solve this problem,? Does the spray have to get behind the mirrors so it gets into the retracting motor gears? Also I'm told that silicone breaks down rubber as opposed to using 303 Aerospace Protectant which I use on my rubber door, hood and trunk gaskets gaskets. http://www.303products.com/tech/index.cfm?...uct_ID=428spray I want to make sure I don't fix one problem & create another one!

RFeldes Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I am referring to the whole mirror housing. Spray the base with them in and then again with them out. Use whatever you are comfortable with. They can be manualy moved to spray if they are stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
