If theres no crunching noises from the motor, and it just doesnt go up sometimes, then it could be a bent antenna rod or the gears in the motor are bad. Mine only went up half way. I got a new rod it fixed the problem.

I didnt find this info searching, so i thought id take the time to post this info in case anyone would like to know. First off it would seem the RHD and LHD Mirror Glass is exactly the same (Both Sides). Judging by the glass they are not (Flat and Convex like the US/Canada mirrors (reversed for...
^ those test were done with a HKS 2 Layer Wet element, Im curious to how a 3 Layer Dry element does in a similar test. I know it may or may not be better but still curious.
Wait so if my window is 3/4 of the way down it should rattle? ill have to try that, i never really noticed any rattle? Im assuming this happens while driving.
I've heard that Cibie lamps put out better lighting than Hella's do I've yet to see the beam pattern of one but I may just buy a set and see how they look
