[W126 Coupe] fyi - motorized mirror, passenger door

[flakeymail-benz at yahoo.com]

howdy, for anyone with a frozen/stuck motorized
passenger mirror I wanted to let you know it can be
fixed in a couple hours by disassembling the unit and
getting the little motors out.  then the little motors
can be unfrozen by taking the motor apart and working
the moving parts by hand. 

unsoldering/resoldering the wires to the motors is
required to free them from their plastic cage, the
rest of the dis/assembly is tedious but fairly obvious
when you have it removed from the car and on your
workbench.

be careful when seperating the motors from the plastic
cage they are in, the little gearboxes on the end will
want to come apart and spill little gear guts.  

cheers,
alex
