I've poked around doing research; however, I'm unclear as to exactly what I need to repair a 2012 passenger side mirror:
While backing up the mirror was damaged bending the entire housing to the the outside (opposite to folding inward as designed). The glass itself is not broken but the mounts on the backside of the glass for fitment and tilting need replacing.
The housing is ok and folds inward properly....so from what I gather I THINK I really only need an actuator motor and glass (at the most)?
The mirror has side blide zone alert, tilting, etc (All standard for a 2012 except the an upgraded blind side addition that wasn't standard back in 2012).
Any suggestions on what is needed here? I've read up on gruven and the need to do extra work to customize the motor components. I've also looked into entire OEM assemblies..............$$$$ and likely not necessary (I hope)...
