How do I repair the mirrors in my Honda FR-V?

Hi, I have purchased a Honda FR-V. Annoyingly, neither electric wing mirror is functioning properly. One won't tilt side to side and the other up and down... Is it possible to just replace the motors? FR-V parts aren't abundant - would another Honda part do the trick? Don't want to relace the whole mirror if possible as very expensive!

Hi Garry,

Without having the car in front of us it's hard to tell, but it really sounds like the issue could be with the switch itself rather than the mirrors or their motors. It seems too coincidental that they'd both fail.

That could save you rather a lot of money if so - let us know how you get on.
