Auto Folding Mirrors on GS
Well I have parked my cars everywhere since 1978, not once have my mirrors been damaged. If people walked that close, I would be worried about other things. Do you realize most modern car's mirrors have hinges to go back and forward to prevent from breaking?
Where do you park? I guess it's the cool factor.

Got it to work (kinda)
So I finally started to work on this project as I think it adds a ton of modernity to the 3GS, and thats what I'm all about. I followed the guides pretty well, and also on another thread I found one for 08/09 written out instructions that were easy to follow with color coded diagrams and such. I got the drivers side to work properly, but when I did the passengers side, the manual fold mirrors button in the dropout panel next to steering wheel only folds the drivers mirror, with the passenger not being controlled by the button anymore. The passenger side seemed okay until I started driving and the "door lock after 13mph" function hit, and the passenger side folded in. My workaround is to hit the unlock button and the passenger mirror folds back out, but I have to keep al my door unlocked and it gets annoying after a while to remember to hit unlock.
What works:
-Key unlock/lock folds both mirrors in/out (awesome!!)
-mirror fold button controls the drivers side mirror
-all mirror adjustments (left, right, up down)
-mirror-down on reverse
-auto-dimming mirrors
-heated mirrors
What doesn't work:
-mirror fold button now doesn't fold passenger side
-door lock folds passenger side in (unwanted)
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I did wrong??

Actually, in the US, you can't have auto-roll up windows. Apparently (I was explained by my service advisor), that they stopped letting cars have that function because a stupid woman sued the car company because she auto rolled up while her kid's head was sticking out the window. There was a large lawsuit over that and car makers stopped doing that for safety reasons.
How true this is, I never gained enough interest to find out.......
On another note, I'd love to, like you, get the metal gears for a replacement as I've been using my mirrors A LOT more now than I use to
