Hello All,
I'm new to the forum, and also a new Tahoe owner. Just recently purchased an 08 LTZ Tahoe, and the power folding side mirrors do not fold. When you press the button for the mirrors to fold in, you can hear the motors turn on as if they are trying to fold the mirrors, but neither side will fold. After doing a little research I found that the gears are plastic, and it is very common for them to strip and break. My question is, has anyone had any luck at replacing the broken gears, and is there anyone out there that may offer metal replacement gears? If anyone has fixed this problem and has any insight on the best way to fix this problem I (and others I'm sure) would deeply appreciate it. I do apologize if this is posted in the wrong place, but I searched for this problem and didn't find any threads. Thanks in advance for any information and help.
