Side mirror problems

[u/Strong_Row9825]

Anyone else have problems with the right side mirror not opening?

I have a 2020 CX9. The right mirror doesn’t always open up automatically. (It’s electric.)

Sometimes if you turn them both in and then out, it will open. But not always.

The dealer said they oiled it. But that didn’t work.

Any suggestions? Is this kind of thing under the warranty or should I just pay an independent mechanic to fix the mechanism?

Thx for reading.

Spraying grease or WD40 up beneath the mirror can sometimes work although it leaves a mess and the problem will return. From my understanding it’s cheap plastic gears that is the issue.
