yep left/right..and an arrow at the bottom..my left mirror aint working right...its clicking/ticking when i try to fold it in..but aint moving...
tried to open it up and investigate but could`not see much
is it time for a new mirror...or is there a fix for this ?

With fixing it, I've no idea to be honest. Sounds like a broken motor and even a whole used folding mirror for 206's these arn't cheap
#7: Re: folding door mirrors Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:48 am ---- Will be the normal folding motor full of rust issue.
Pack the folding motor housing with Vaseline on reassembly to keep the rust away in the future.

Nope, thats the pivot point, the folding motor is inside the mirror, once inside you will need to drill the 4 rivets out carefully to take it apart.
There a pain to strip down & rebuild

Rivets are of a specalist type & I couldnt find anyone that sells them
Counter sunk self tapping screws of the correct length work just as well & are what I used.
