Mirrors have suddenly stopped folding in when the door top button is pressed. They fold back and when they reach the window immediately open again.

The garage reckons this is a fault with one of the motors but I'm not so sure. Has anyone else had this problem?

Battery reset is your first step my friend... Could well be a motor though

It'll probably be the microswitch. They get bent, don't make, and send the mirrors back out again. Here is a link to joe90's post...

It can also happen that someone pushed one mirror in or out by hand causing it to lose the home position. Happens with mine sometimes when the mechanics have worked on the car. Battery reset seems to cure it. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Or check wiki for other solutions, double pressing button quickly etc. There is a lock out if you do it too much. .

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the upper trim around the window as I am going to replace the door mirror?

I can see the trim probably clips on and off and that the mirror is held on with 3 main bolts, however, does anyone know whether the two wired plugs that the mirror has are above or below the window line? If they are below then obviously I will need to remove the door panel which I want to avoid.

Thanks... 2009 Vogue TDV8 Nara Bronze

Not sure if this helps.

Sounds like you may have got this far already ;

There's a video on YouTube too but I'm unsure whether the door air bag would be disturbed.

The rubber bung marked airbag...is this just a bung tha comes out to access a screw to undo the door panel does anyone know? 2009 Vogue TDV8 Nara Bronze

Take the bung out, its just a cover. There is a fairly large philips screw behind it.
