That is an insane amount of work, I cannot even imagine the labour cost. I removed my soul red cover, replaced the entire mirror for £60 that came off a wrecked mazda 6 tourer that I was able to confirm worked. Just to prepare for future issues, I bought a second one. The thought of gutting everything for a motor that has no resolve when it comes to inclemate weather is just a step to far time wise. Cheers for the guide.
Thanks for the great video. Unfortunately, I called my Mazda dealership, and the parts guy said they don't sell just the motor (or a motor repair kit). They only offered to sell me the mirror body, which they wanted $309 for.
They are not willing to help, not everyone does, and that repair kit is commonly used even if the warranty period has ended. Replacement of mirror body only when damaged, try another dealer.
Excellent video, took me 3 hours. I attached a string to the cable when I pulled it through the door, so I could use the string to pull cable back reattaching - so I didn’t have to take of the speaker …
I had the same problem on my Mazda6, then I found this video on TH-cam where someone just sprayed WD-40 behind the mirror (glass bit) to lubricate the motor of the wing mirror. Dude kept turning the button on and off and helped the mirror fold and unfold with his hand. A few seconds later? .................. PROBLEM SOLVED! Give it a go before you start spending crazy money on a new one.
Had a 2016.5 CX-5 Touring. Do you think can retrofit power folding mirror using this kit (GRY0-69-16ZC) and the GT control switch (KD3566350)? Are the wiring of a GT and Touring are the same?
Hi,1st: can you take out (and then in ) the glass itself without heating it? unfortunately I do not have such as yours..unless hairdryer would be enough? 2nd. has Mazda improved the cog wheels inside the mechanizm (for metalic one like the ones at aliexpress)?
You can do it with a hair dryer, but it will take more time. Mazda has improved the sealing of the motor, not sprockets. I've seen those sprockets on that shopping platform, and it could be a good idea to try them.
Thank you for the video. You could try to open the motor. If the same of my Mazda 2008 It should have a 48 teeth wheel that is broken and you can replace it. Would be much cheaper.
You are welcome. I was thinking about it, but never had the time to do so. It is a relatively new car, and the question is whether the part is available on the market. Thanks for the tip.
Great guide, I have a question teacher, both mirrors fold into the same angle? The driver side folds like parallel to the windows, while the passenger side have like an stopper before reaching the same angle.
As far as I remember there is the same angle when mirror folds in and the only difference is when it folds out slightly less on the side opposite to the driver
Great informative video, as always, JB. I have the same issue with my Mazda 6 2016. The driver-side mirror is not folding anymore and makes a constant noise like the motor keeps going; it's very frustrating. Can you please let me know how much I can expect to pay for a mirror repair kit like the one in your video? I'm thinking of doing it myself Thank you for your fantastic content; keep it up.
The option you mean folding mirror? all of them are with folding mirrors, and some of them are with auto-folding mirrors. I do not remember when it has been introduced.
Yo en mi cx5 rocié WD-40 por detrás y dentro del conjunto del espejo y ahora funciona genial, la próxima vez que lave el coche estoy pensando en cubrirlo, con un preservativo por estos espejos tan sensibles a la humedad. 😅😅
I need help removing the prongs on the back. The two that look like they are attached to glue. I am afraid to pull it looks like they'll break. I have a 2015 mazda cx5 awd.
@@JB_Auto My passenger side mirror cracked and i ordered a new one. It is the entire plate not the kind where you just glue the glass over it. The back of the plate has two small white prongs that i can pull out. It has two it wire like pieces that look like they are connected but look like they maybe put glue over them to hold the. In place better. I assumed this was standard in the cx5 but maybe it is not? My worry is that if i remove the glued wires i will rip what they're connected to.
The prongs for mirror glass are glued only if hooks on mirror glass are broken. Normally you should warm it up with heat gun and pull the mirror out. Is it that what you wanted to know?
Excellent video. I have a question, do we need to snake that cable behind that glass guide? Or can I just let it be? I am having a difficult time doing this. I have not yet removed the speaker but I can try that. I rolled my window down before I removed the inner panel and installed new side mirror. Do I need to connect cables to move window up before attempting to snake the mirror cable behind the glass guide?
@@JB_Auto Thank you so much. One other question - My mirror is already all the way down before I began the removal and installation process. Will this have any impact on pulling the wiring harness around the guide? Thank you again!
@@JB_Auto sorry, yes I meant window. Can I physically pull it up? Or would I need to connect all cables to door again, to operate the switch? I'm sorry for many questions, this is my first time working on vehicle
I have the same problem in my mazda ... Im using penetrating WD 40 to resolve it ... And its working until now ... Just spray it in the back of mirror ... I think its not big problem ...
I tested that on customers' cars, but it never worked, that was on an already malfunctioning mirror, if you apply WD40 regularly and before any malfunction, that may help.
Hi, you need a part number, not an OEM code; this is available based on the VIN of your vehicle, and it varies from country to country, so it will be best if you order directly at your Mazda dealer.
Use SILICONE WD40: it's vastly better than simple WD40. Spray behind the mirrors every month or so (depending on weather) and the mirrors will work forever. My early 2017 CX-5 has been perfect.
You would need to add: disassemble the electric motors to clean sprockets from time to time. Also, do not use folding mirrors during wintertime. Then protect them just in case somebody pushes them passing by while on parking lot. Remember, those sprockets are fragile and plastic. I utilised silicone spray on my car, and yes, it extended life compared to other vehicles where lubrication hasn't been used.
Bought my 3 year old used Mazda6, the passenger side mirror went dead the next day. Disgraceful from Mazda that it happens so often yet nothing changed because i heard thet it is a common problem with the 6
@JB_Auto yes it is being fixed under warranty, but doesn't fill me with confidence because i bought the car mainly due to what I heard that mazdas are very reliable cars
Hello, can you tell me briefly what this whole action with replacing the motor in the mirror, removing the mirror and reinstalling everything costs, thank you. Otherwise good video and well explained. The work to rebuild everything if you have no idea would be too expensive for me and I wouldn't pay for it either. I replaced the entire mirror on my CX 5. It was much faster and cost me 130 euros. 👍👍👍👍
Hi, the labour time at the Mazda dealership is approximately 1h and the cost of the parts is a fraction of the whole mirror cost, I can not quote an exact price at this moment.
That's a good question, within five years of the warranty period, we replaced even two kits on some vehicles, that was caused by external mechanical damage, meaning if you push mirror and fold not using switch or RC, the sprockets may crack, they are made of plastic, some cases people are using mirrors when frozen. So yes to me those mirrors are too fragile.
@@-DejanK- I'm inquiring about statistics, I do not use them during wintertime, and had no that problem yet, I own the car for one and a half years. So I'm testing if that approach is any good.🙂

@naegleriafowleri2230 Multiply the labor rate in your country by 1 hour, it might be a higher price if encountered problems 🙂

It serves as seal, for correct arrangement, against damage.

At the dealership, this is based on VIN, and some of the parts are modified.
ما اسم الصندرق الذي اخرجت منه القطع؟
Each part number is assigned to a VIN number.
There is many options available for one model, so
I recommend to ask at Mazda dealership.

merci 👍👍👍
please give us a link to sell this product
There is no link. The part is available at Mazda dealership, based on VIN. I advise you to buy at Mazda dealers because there are parts modifications.
well done man.. 👍
just what i'm looking for..
btw, could you give me the link where you buy the parts from?
Thanks. Bought at Mazda dealer, do not know if it is available as none original part.
hi, can i have the oem code of the spare part?thanks
Hi, you need a part number, not an OEM code; this is available based on the VIN of your vehicle, and it varies from country to country, so it will be best if you order directly at your Mazda dealer.

Great video!
On my CX5 the mirror on passenger side folds down faster than on the driver side.
Do you know what may cause unequal timing?
Most likely driver side getting stuck, that is why goes slower.
In a nutshell, you will need to replace the mirror motor kit soon.
Hi, where are you based please ? Or how can I contact you ?
