The attached Lexus TSB EL007-06 MIRROR MEMORY INACCURATE AFTER REVERSE TILT might help.

ahh yes this might help tho i have a tendency of breaking fragile things this procedure looks right up my ally to break lol sigh... one of these days I will see what i can do i suppose. Thank you very much for the link.

Actually I just looked it seems the year difference since mine is 2000 is not taken apart like this... I see 3 screws from the outside of the mirror on the bottom .. how would I go about getting that same info but for my year? Hopefully its easier haha lol

 

[CEO714]

Also if needed can someone provide the part numbers for the mirror motors. from a website I came up with this but i am not sure if that's correct. Thanks

I suffered from slow and clunky dipping mirror syndrome, fixed with a squirt of penetrating oil via application tube up behind the lens. Turns out one was being obstructed by a mud wasp condo. Note: mud wasps do not appreciate nor enjoy penetrating oil baths. Maybe a drop or two of machine oil around the mirror folding bezel will free things?

 

[CEO714]

Ok but the key part that is missing is did you aimlessly just spray behind the mirror? Because the thing is I do not know how to get access to that area would those 3 screws at the bottom that hold on the backing? I have not tried yet but if anyone knows or has instructions let me know thanks Pictures would be GREAT!

Thanks in advance!

Take the glass mirror out – see in the above manual how to take it out safe - and lubricate that way.
I changed my mirrors from manual to folding and the 3 screws was really difficult for me to take out - the aluminium was oxidized, so I broke 2 of the screws :-(
