I tried every version of folding mirrors and all the "fixes" and they
all eventually gave up. I got some power mirrors (without the
electrics and switches) and mounted them after painting them with SEM
Trim Black paint. Look and work great. I'm the only person driving
the van so I really didn't need to power the mirrors---just set them
once and forget them.
