They work, but when they rotate down they seem labored and they pop and stick a bit. how does one go about removing the mirror glass? also, is there a track or gear I could lubricate that would help resolve this issue?

thanks all!!!

 

mine too.... my 06 TL it was smooth, but my type-s, i noticed they seem to "struggle" when titlting.. they shake, pop & make louder noises than usual

 

so.... how to fix?

 

Take it to acura, they will either replace the motors or try to lube up the motors.

 

yep, my warranty was up a few months back and the dealers in my area are douchebags and I have to drive 45 minutes to get to either one of them. so how do I fix? better yet, how do I remove the mirror glass without breaking it? I'll figure out how to fix the rest and do a how-to!

 

I have manually moved the windows back and forth and that seems to loosen then up for awhile.

 

I've had both side mirrors replaced under warranty for this very problem. The passenger's side last week and the driver's side last year. If you're still within your warranty period, take your car in and get new ones installed. Or, if you're beyond warranty, take this opportunity to upgrade the mirrors to the '07/8's with the turn signals.

I had that problem on my '04s right mirror. At 75k, I don't have a warranty so the dealer wanted $275 to replace it. I bought a can of silicone spray lube w/the little red straw and moved the mirror up and down spraying inside. That was two months ago and it still works normally.

 

same here, cracks and pops

 

Same problem, was going to take it in the next time I need an oil change. Started to do so about a week ago at 15k.

 

just manually push the glass all the way up and down and side to side.

 

k well i'll post a DIY if someone can tell me how to remove the glass w/o breaking it!

 

same problem here...i actually just started doing it. im gonna take it in during my nxt oil change to have them fix it as i do still have the extended warranty.

 

they'll probably fix it under extended warranty, after you pay the deductible of "a whole bunch"

if someone can post the manual page that has the mirror glass removal instructions I'll do a how to to fix this!
