Hey guys,

I have a 2000 with the newer mirrors (i did not install) with signals/heat (not hooked up). I recently folded in my drivers side to fit a tight squeeze and I saw the top corner part of the cover bend out. This is on the door on the top window side. It was also makes a knock sound when folded in.

My next trip down the road and there is a new whistle of air coming in through the door. Before I take it all apart i wanted to get some feedback. New seals? silicone?

Is there a normal flaw with this upgrade to newer windows because of model years? is something busted? was it possibly installed wrong? Does anybody else have a problem with folding in the mirrors? If so this is a problem others should be aware of because I need to fold these guys in a lot offroad/parking/etc

 

Well, the question I'd have are these the style that folds in electronically and power was never hooked up?
Pictures help too.

 

I believe they are power folding, no they are not wired to power. Maybe that is why it busted a seal when manually folding in? One would think that the power mirrors would have the ability to fold in manually though...

 

you should be able to manually fold the power mirrors. I’ve done it a number of times with no issue (mainly when i bang one side pulling in or out of the garage).

 

As seville said I have also done this with my power mirrors especially when I realized it after taking the garbage out later or something, so I just fold them in and no issues
