Can someone help? I have a 2013 Beetle Cabrio.( I also own a MK7 Golf GTi P/P just to give me some credence here) and have a problem with my power door mirrors. Select the mirrors to close, works fine, both close. When I select to open, only the passenger side opens. Drivers side stays closed. No matter how I select the mirrors to work after this the drivers side will not open. I now have to manually open the mirror to use ( pushing against the mechanism ) If I then select the close function the passenger side closes fine but there is an audible 'crack' sound from the drivers door mirror but nothing happens. When the drivers door mirror is in this 'forced open' position it is not rigid, so much so when driving along you can see movement in the housing.
The question i'm asking, is there a reset procedure for these mirrors as there is for the windows? If so, can it be done through an opening and closing procedure? Or is it a very expensive replacement mirror housing required.
