Passenger Side Mirror
My passenger side mirror has taken a beating since I bought my 2023 F250 Lariat. I have already replaced the marker light in the mirror because I whacked it going through a bank ATM lane. Today I was backing up and the mirror caught a 4X4 post and got pulled forward. I figured I would be able to pop it back and all would be good. Nope. Now when my mirrors fold they both come back to the stowed position against the windows. When they fold back out the driver side goes to the normal position; but, the passenger side goes all the way forward to where it was when I hit the post. Please tell me how to fix it. Hopefully, I don't have spend $1500 for a whole new mirror.

Short of taking it apart and it doesn't look like a real simple job but at the cost of these mirrors I would do just that.
Here's a YouTube video that gives a rough idea of what's involved. There might be better, I didn't deep dive the research.
Here is a link for parts if needed.

Thanks for the video. His mirror is a bit different than a 2023; but, good info.

Thank you Steve. I did order one all ready. The current one is driving me nuts flopping in the breeze. I will keep you in mind for the next thing I need to replace. lol

I installed the new mirror yesterday so I tore the old one apart. There are pins in the folding motors which are at the hinge points of the mirror. Both pins are bent from being folded forward and that was causing the mirror to flop when in the running position and it to fold all the way forward when I use the auto fold/unfold. The new mirror came with everything except the camera, its cover and the chrome cover on the front of the mirror which I easily moved from the old mirror. Expensive lesson; but, lesson learned.
