I have a set of power folding mirrors that I need to ship in a box. It would help if I could fold them, but I'm afraid to mess up the motor.

Anyone know if you can manually fold these mirrors without screwing up the motor?

 

just connect a 12v batt. to it to close them, pretty simple

 

yeah, it shouldn't hurt to fold them without the power. I've folded mine like that a bunch of times ( for being a lazy *** and not wanting to get in my car). They still work fine. Don't let the noise they make when you do it freak you out. It's a pretty loud snap.

But like the person above me said, u can just connect then to a 12V and a ground and fold em im, assuming you have the relay and switch.

 

I've never tried to do it with mine. I don't feel like braking them. Just ship them they way they are.

 

Thanks for the input guys.

Hey AWD Terror, I was in Pittsburgh just last week. It's an awsome city but I was surprised by the lack of cars. Coming from Cali, it's a huge difference. Loved it out there though, cant wait to go back.

I've never been there, but there is a bunch of ricers around here. I love to see their faces when they find out my car isn't stock.
