This video covers the entire replacement process for eliminating a plastic OEM folding mirror gear that has failed, and replacing it with a metal gear from Gruven. Paul @ Gruven has kindly passed along his email and asked me to have anyone who has technical questions or issues to please reach out to him. Thank you, Paul! paul@gruvenparts.com

Thanks for this valuable info. Both of the mirrors on my 2019 1500 stopped working, (they just clicked). By following this video, I was able to install new metal gears on both mirrors. Cutting open the plastic motor housing takes patience but is not hard at all. After digging all the plastic shrapnel out of the motor housings, I used a few dabs of white lithium grease on the new metal gears. I used JB Weld PlasticWeld instead of the Marine version to seal the motor housing. This job took about 1 hour per side (not counting cure time) and is relatively easy if you use this video as a guide. Both mirrors now fold in and out like new! 😀

What kind of grease did you use in the actual motor?

What is that part called that's under the turn signal that you popped out and the puddle lamp is under neath it?

So did you end up getting this fixed? And what was it doing to cause the repair? Our ram when you extend the mirror out it’s trying to go past the limiter

Mirror would fold in with any wind. Gruven is good about communicating if you have questions. Haven't had a chance to fix, but mirrors works every once in a while and it worked fine before we put the housing back on, so the part itself is working.

Both my mirrors work intermittently. Is that the main symptomM wondering why one problematic gear would prevent both from operating correctly.

If it helps, there is a gear for each mirror.

Just make sure you order the part on their site that matches.

Great video! It's frustrating how Dodge made good mirrors but decided to use frail plastic gearing.

It's not just my truck either. Same problem plagues the Promaster Vans.

yes, & it's $750 to replace each mirror but this is a lot of work!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! My power folding mirror on my passenger side will not work. I just bought a used Ram from a Chrysler dealer that's in really good shape but I realized after a week of having it that the passenger mirror will not work. I also noticed that the mirror is a little loose and when driving it shakes a bit.

Take it back to the dealer you brought it from. It's near impossible to diagnose this based on a post

Can we have an update video ?

Traded that truck into my dealer earlier this year for a Porsche Macan. Couldn't resist since I got more than I paid for it and the four wheel drive Porsche works much better in the Colorado Springs mountainous, often snowy terrain. We didn't finalize the fix, but did share what we'd done with the dealer. They were not impressed, natch.

@@thecreativenow An updated video would have been nice, but this video is more than helpful. Thanks!
