Not everyone uses facebook. I have no idea what your problem is.

I can't view the video either but if it's anything like the problem I had, is that the gear stopper in the mirror is starting to wear and slip. The thing with the LS 430 side mirrors, is that it tries to lock them in place by applying fold-out pressure (the reason for this I am not sure, maybe a misaligned sensor and it's thinking it's needs to adjust itself). This is even when you have the Auto-Fold set to 'extend'.

Youll need to take the mirror apart and do some finangaling to get it to stop. I dont even think you need any new parts, based on the research I did on this forum about a year or two ago about it.

However since I can't view the video, I'm 100% guessing on your problem.
