What's Up Mud?
The passenger side mirror on my 2013 has gone rogue. Whenever I start the truck the mirror spins all the way forward and I manually have to pull it back into place. I've tried 'resetting' it, but can't get it to work. I've done some looking around and it appears to be a bad actuator/motor assembly.
The two common options are to either replace the whole unit (~$900), or buy a replacement actuator unit and do a rebuild. Neither of these seem particularly good. The rebuild looks like a huge PITA and $900 is a lot of money for a mirror, even though it does some fancy stuff.
So- my question today is has anyone had luck with aftermarket assemblies? Any specific recommendations? I use OEM Toyota parts as a general rule, but could be convinced otherwise for a non-critical part like this.
Thanks!
