How to fix a motorised Folding Wing Mirror (that stopped folding) 

Really?! Holy moley! Well thanks and I really hope you enjoy your lovely c5!

Καλοτάξιδο κι από μένα αδερφέ. Και μάλιστα εσύ έχεις τον νεότερο κινητήρα. Excellent. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

@@mr_nice. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!!!Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks!!! It's really good to hear!

Very cathartic!

@@tobykeen3700 interesting. Do you think it's easier that way? Thanks so much for the input!! 👍

@@comcarclub 👍

My apologies, I'm not familiar with the functioning of a bayonette, but the way you described it seems accurate. Push in and twist. I hope it helps!

Thanks for the answer. A bayonet is like the old push and twist lightbulbs

@@brandedfireball7822 yes, that's it. More or less the same motion

I would bet on it. 508s and c5s share some interchangeable parts, like rear wiper and door handles. I doubt they would develop a completely different solution for each model

@@comcarclub Thanks - just ordered the parts from AliExpress. I just saw your video about Daigbox as well - did you finally get to grips with any hardware and software that worked ? I am trying to look at my heads-up display

@@andrewhayman6854 unfortunately not. For the time being, I'll leave the computer stuff to my mechanic

Funnily enough, I had some today. Some of the plastic trim on the left side of the bootlid came ever so slightly loose, but it would hit the inside of the boot opening when I tried to open the boot, and the system decided the hatch was staying shut. I had to force the boot open by hand. Some short sharp smacks to the trim and it works normally again.

Obrigado! That might actually be the problem with mine! Tomorrow I'll check it out and if I manage to open it, I'll buy you a pint 😊

Well, I simply observed its behaviour on the car, though that doesn't count as testing. The new motor was so cheap, it was worth the risk

? Sorry, it's not an ibiza

It's the number on the side of the motor in video - 1020792

Hello. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a factory coating that makes everything feel more "premium". I've seen the same on BMWs and on the stereo buttons of my old Volvo. I think the coating degrades over time and "melts" as you describe, and worse, it attracts dirt and filth. I try to clean it off whenever I can but it's tough to do so. Below is good plastic so it isn't a problem to get rid of the coating, in my opinion.

@@comcarclub ....well I can verify Mr. Comfy's words, since I had the same problem with the middle console, and I ended up painting it, along with the silver stips on the door handles. You can see it in my video about the gear stick knob fix on the X7. The buttons, are also coated with the same crappy material, and you can't realy do anything about them. The switch frame is different. You can remove it and clean it, and have it with the original plastic, but cleaning each button is a bit of a pain. I only managed to clean the forlding mirrors button, when I disassembled the switch, and I was too bored to do the rest of them. 😂😂😂👍👍👍 But yes, the coating on the buttons can be removed with simple rubbing alcohol and kitchen paper, but the coating on the middle console....I scraped it away with sand paper, and then primmed the plastic, and took it to a pro painter to apply the car's color and a clear coat, to have a decent result. AND it doesn't attract dirt any more.

@@comcarclub Thank you for your response! I just thought it was really bad plastic, kinda relieved to find it's some dumb coating. For me it's a useless thing, my previous car was 12 years old with 385000km (was a rental car lol) and none of the plastics were detoriated that bad at all, in fact it looked barely used. Was just a bit disappointed to find a large sedan having such issues. Oh well, thank you once again :)

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Can you point to what time code in the video you mean? I'm not sure which part it is. Thanks!

@@comcarclub the metal piece you’re holding in 16:06. Thanks!!!

@@lukpo2007 I see. Make sure it has the bearing, the piece with little balls in it, and the O-ring above it. And make sure it's facing downwards like in the video. Apart from that, it doesn't have a fixed position, as long as it's facing the right way, it should work

@@comcarclub thanks for your response, i’ll try to finish it today haha

@@lukpo2007 Good luck!

The old motor worked but only moved very slightly. The grease inside looked fine but who knows? I don't have a way to test the old motor without going through everything again!

@@comcarclub ...well...yes and no. I mean...sure, I don't want to see you going over the same thing all over again, that's not what I mean. I was just curious about the old motor. If you supply 12V with a couple of paperclips, in those slots, it will turn (if it's ok) or it will not turn if it's stuck. That's it. If you manage to do that, let me know. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

12V

@@comcarclub is that for sure.I followed your video and i have the motor out now and just wanted to check it before i buy new.Thanks again

I didn't unplug the battery at all, just had the car turned off 👍

@@comcarclub thanks for replying so quickly!!! I am all set now!

Not sure what you mean. It opens but opens too far? That might be a problem with the instructions the motor receives, it's doing too many steps. This is just conjecture! I can't be sure without properly understanding the problem.

That's odd. Maybe a bad circuit board, since something needs to "tell" the mirror it should only do a quarter turn.

As far as my mechanic said, no. I suppose you could unplug the motor

@@comcarclub Thanks

Well, I believe I mentioned it in the video, but I will sum it up. I wasnt sure it was a busted motor. The slight movement of the mirror suggested it was the motor at fault, but I could only be sure replacing it. Because a replacement motor was so cheap I thought, why not?

Lots of things! 👍

@@comcarclub new it! You look like that kind of a guy.

@@majohladky3249 sorry, I was just joking with you. I might do a Q&A video one day, and answer everyone's questions 👍

@@comcarclub same 😏. And thats very much appreciated. I will keep an eye out for your channel. Your content is very helpful. Cheers

Aliexpress

Can you give some link I can't find it?

@@user-xv9hb6en4u sure you can. Look for motor 1020792

​@@comcarclub10x

I don't know, but there's a good chance it is

Change the motor like the video shows you

Ah-a! I was right! Thank you

As opposed to...?

@@comcarclub A wing mirror. Doors and wings are seperate panels.

@@comcarclub And I guess all the car manufactuers are alos nerds? The opposite of ignorant is not nerd.

​@@DepakoteMeisterLighten up, man, it wasn't meant as insult. It was a friendly jab

You'd still have to install it, wouldn't you? Even from a scrapyard, it's a lot more expensive
