Yea, well, if you do THAT without first taking all the moving parts out and cleaning the rust and corrosion from them and then lube them well and reassemble them you WILL crack the plastic housing - if it's not already cracked - Then you will just have to throw it in the garbage to join the hundreds of others and buy a new one and start life all over again with those crappy mirrors.
