The Gruven site clearly indicates that you need to buy a new motor from them to prevent the grounding issue. At least it does now, lol. I wonder if this video inspired that warning.
Great Job there Dan, really appreciate the DIY and detailed steps. $50.00 for the motor on Amazon, your $7 gear + the time & effort probably ends up same.
I don't think you can do that with them folding, ,just the mirror going down when you put it in reverse. But you can check your menu settings on the dash.
I ran into the same problem with the grounding issue. I haven't heard anyone else mention it on RUclips, so thanks!
I did not see anyone either, that's why I wanted to mention it.
Nice DIY. Very helpful. I’m about to do this both mirrors on my 2012. This is by far the best DIY I’ve found for this.
Thanks, glad I could help.
Its a wonderful demo for this matter, I hope the metal one works with my car, keep up Dan
You can try it, but you may have to upgrade the motor too. Mine is working flawlessly with the plastic original style gear.
Thank you so much!! Very thorough instruction. Awesome, Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
well done, Dan, great and very clear explained!
Thank you kindly!

It may have, but it was cheaper to get another gear that was correct. It has been working great ever since.

Yea, I think it depends on the direction you go in.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
Also - if you use a long bolt with a washer on the bottom and a scoket on top thas spring goes on a lot easier.
Thanks, hopefully I won't have to do this for a while. It has been working great.
Wow I was wondering why mines wasn't working
Hope this helps. I have not had any problems since the repair.
I live in Raleigh. Will you do mine please.
I don't generally work on other peoples vehicles. But if you get the parts and Email me, I would be glad to help you out.

Name of those to metal pieces holding the new gear in place rotate. N where can i get a replacement if i lost 1
I would say they are bearings, but I did not need them so I am not sure.
What size socket did you use?
Sorry, I don't recall. I should have said it in the video.
Dude $40. New total motor on Amazon 10x easer then doing all your doing to save what $25.
would you happen to know a link for the motor? rather get a motor and plastic gear just in case. thank you
