Exterior Trim / Re: power window motor running while mirror not moving.

I had the same on our 2012 year CX-5 probably around 3 years ago now. In the end I managed to remove the entire door mirror and take it apart and remove the little motor. If I recall the plastic gear on the motor had stripped so ultimately down to poor quality as a metal item would have lasted forever. It means our car's mirror doesn't fold on the passenger side but does still function for mirror adjustment. Wasn't worth the cost of a Mazda replacement part but I think there are copy versions available for a lot less so would love to hear if anyone's had any access with those. I suspect you may still need to transfer over the coloured outer covering. I seem to recall the outer covering was not that easy to remove.
