Exclamation I need help with a few things...

Hello everyone!

This is my first post on the forums, so bear with me. My family owns a 2001 model year Lexus LS430, and recently it has developed a few issues:

1.) On startup, the passenger's side wing mirror starts bussing and clicking, like it wants to adjust itself, but can't because of a stripped cog or gear. it does this for about 7 seconds and then stops.

2.) The driver's side front window works, but it makes and ominous grinding sound on the way back up

3.) About 2 years ago I burned a cd for my father that had a printed label on it. when we inserted it into the CD changer, it got stuck and will not come out. Now none of the CD's in there will play at all.

If someone has a DIY solution to any or all of these issues, I would really appreciate it. Looking to spend as little money as possible on repairs. Thanks in advance!

Stereo specs:
Navigation equipped
Audio cassette player
6 CD Disc changer
Mark Levinson Premium audio system w/ 8 speakers and a subwoofer.

The manual clearly states that CDs must not have pasted labels. You may have a chance of getting the stuck CD out. Open the door and press the eject button. Then insert a thin object such as a shim or razor blade in and try to gently nudge the CD up of down while it is trying to eject. You may be able to get it out.

Agree with jayclapp... no pasted lables... same thing happened to my mom's 2001... fortunately I could see it right at the slot, trying to come out...and grabbed it with tweezers and pulled it out. All was fine after that.
