Most models are equipped with power mirrors. Folding mirrors with automatic parking a vehicle having automatic folding function, effectively prevent the occurrence of damage to rub mirror parking, electric mirrors and some models need to control the folding, folding mirrors forget to close the cars stopped Some owners will choose folded manually after the closing power mirrors. Once or twice a folding electric mirrors damage generally does not happen, but the long run, electric mirrors transmission parts will damage the control program or disorder occurs, the latter the former is expensive bother, let’s look at the standing electric mirrors the harm.
perishable, motor damage, ectopic asymmetry around gear
common drive motor portion of the power mirrors using ratchet control mechanism, after the controller input instructions required to drive the motor to the gear is controlled by folding stopper, in order to ensure stability in the position of mirror travel state, the rotational resistance of the motor is large, and by a gear mechanism to enlarge resistance.
When used to pull off the parking brute force causes mirror, generate a reverse torque in the motor is not energized case, the influence of the output signal of the motor position sensor, the next when the motor is used to continue the input signal will cause motor overload limiting device under the influence of the final motor damage. Once or twice while breaking off power mirrors are not damaged, do not exist so-called luck, fewer short time power brute force moving mirror position causes gear shifting limit or restriction since the output signal and when the change in position, around two different mirror speed when folded, can also cause damage to the rearview mirror after a long time.
difficult to repair, replace the motor is difficult to repair and updating
Many consumers believe that electric mirrors to repair the difficulty is not large, but it is not now power Mirrors, most highly integrated plate, and a drive control means, except for a few luxury car also be employed separately from the motor and a control circuit board to facilitate repair, the vehicle our everyday household electric mirrors event of damage is difficult to maintenance. 4s shop maintenance technicians to work in accordance with the charges, the cost of maintenance is very worthwhile rearview mirror, so most 4s shop for electric rear viewUpdating mirrors are employed to repair, typically a normal electric mirrors and the mirror body controller price of around 2000, there is, and the mirror itself damage caused by the vehicle owner, insurance companies are not the claims.
is very difficult to replace the motor for luxury cars, electric mirrors, and the use of the replacement effect is not as original motor, this is not as directly for luxury models for replacement, power mirrors and so once the damage occurs, the most common approach is a direct replacement.
High, it is difficult to get the original two thousand small member
Power Mirrors price band around 2000, a relatively high ratio so that the entire electric zero automotive exterior rearview mirror to become one of the most expensive parts. In addition to higher prices, the current market there is a power mirrors biggest problem is difficult to buy original pieces, electric mirrors supply market is divided into two types, one is the electric rear view of damage mirror for renovation, which is a lot of third-party maintenance organizations claimed the original source electric mirrors, mirrors that can be distinguished by date of observation electric mirrors inside the enclosure. The second is the deputy plant parts, electric rearview mirror assembly factory because each 4s shop much inventory, so even 4s shop also sometimes offers only deputy plant parts for maintenance. For longer life models, particularly warm paint such as gold, for a long time after the oxidation paint color will change small, electric mirrors replacement mirror trim and the body will produce significant chromatic aberration of the same color.
For electric mirrors, consumers should be promptly folded after each stop, if you forget the phone after parking in the rear-view mirror, do not use brute force breaking fold, may wish to choose a regular parking lot, do not choose random street parking, after all, rely on electric mirrors or expensive.
