A few months ago my left powerfold (bullets I guess - 2002 car) started an annoying juddering when it was folded back in. For around half a minute after pressing the button, it would fold but then keep juddering as though something hadn't recognised it had gone as far in as it could go and was continuing to try to push it back further. After a couple of week or so of doing that it just packed up completely and flapped about in the wind. I don't know what the problem was but I had to source an entire new left powerfold.

Guess what, now the right mirror's doing exactly the same. Expecting that it won't last more than a few days before it dies and I need a new right side powerfold, is there anything I can do to fix it before that happens? Why's it doing it?
