Mondeo - Folding Wing mirror Failure

Folks,

As  you know, the folding mirrors whirr away every time you lock/unlock the car.

-

I dreaded that one day one may fail, and my RH one has just failed!.

-

I had to force it open so I could get to work safely this morning.

-

They never did seem to sound very refined, and I suspect that the crude plastic gear train may have stripped a couple of teeth.

-

Whole mirror unit part #1777010 is £165 incl vat, and will need to transfer all the cosmetic bits over.

-

Totally unfit for purpose, for a 3 year old car.!!!

-

-

Qu.....has anyone ever managed to source bits to be able to rectify this....maybe just the geartrain, or are they a totally sealed, non-repairable unit??

-

Please shout if can help.

-

I have good mind to epoxy the thing open, (but will then be in trouble if it is clipped by passing car, as it will have no relief)

-

Many Thanks, Steve
