So I have a 2007 GD3 with CVT. The motor that retracts the passenger mirror has started spinning continuously whenever the ignition is on. The mirror doesn't move. Pushing the retract button makes no difference. It's really loud and annoying.
I opened the passenger mirror by pulling the mirror off from the bottom, unscrewed and removed the inner casing, and took some photos.
I think the retract motor is inside the black assembly in the second photo. But I can't access all sides of the black assembly while the outer casing is on, and I can't work out how to get the outer casing off, because it's held on by a screw whose head points downwards directly above the stem of the mirror (third photo - just to the left of the grey cylinder). I can't see how I can get a screwdriver onto that screw without removing the mirror from its neck, and I don't think I can remove the mirror from its neck without removing the neck from the car.
I really, really hope I don't have to remove the entire passenger door liner and then remove the mirror from the car just to access the retract motor, due to very bad design decisions by Honda???
