I think you underestimate how s**t those mirrors are, I had to replace 3 in 2 years on my 180. |
Mine have been fine since I repaired them 
Cheap spares or complete mirrors are hard to find, they normaly go for silly money. ive got enough bits for a couple more rebuilds if needed.
I did have the pcb burn out on one before. |
I couldnt get mine apart to fix them stupid things

Getting them apart is the easy bit, its getting them back together thats more of a challenge 
Never did find a supplier of the special rivets used so long counter sunk self tapping screws to the rescue.
Secret is - pack the folding motor & gearbox unit full of Vaseline to stop it rusting up again in the future.

Same folding unit is used in a lot of mirrors, there's only a couple of component manufacturers suppling them to all the car manufacturers.

Magneti Marelli on European-make cars .. Lexus is liable to use a Jap company for it's electronics .. probably better quality too!
