Power mirrors on 07 are crap!

Well it's been a week since I ordered the gears and I still have not received them. Let's see how long it takes to get them. Not a good way to start promoting a new item, IMO.....

It said on their website :*** THIS PRODUCT IS IN DEVELOPMENT, WE WILL SHIP JUNE 2016 *** so it looks like you might have to wait. But $ 50 for 2 small plastic gears? Wow.

I'm pretty sure their new gears are metal. But yeah, Wow.....
They sure took my payment, so I would think they were ready to ship.

It's description says it's "strengthened plastic" but it does come with a lifetime warranty.

So glad im not the only one with all these issues too! Ughhh that flappy mirror is freakin annoying!

Agreed, trying to decide if I just buy an entire mirror, seams like such a waste for a plastic gear.

Sadly, i threw 3 mirrors away last year that i had either for parts or were just missing the colored caps. I couldnt give them away

The problem with buying another mirror is they will have the same plastic gear that breaks. And they're not cheap. I've spoken to the guy that is making the new gear. They tested a metal one and it would wear out the other plastic gear it made contact with. Thus, it has to be plastic to plastic. The new plastic gear is supposed to be a different type of "strengthened" plastic. I haven't recieved it yet to see how it compares and works.

Those must have been the random ones I shipped you?

Not sure. But probably. I threw away 2 dl8 mirrors and a dl3

I havent had any experience with other manufacturers power fold mirrors, but are they any better / worse?
