Description

Stop paying $800+ per side for factory mirror assemblies. Fix your RAM's power folding mirrors permanently with our precision-engineered Solid Brass & Billet gears and high-torque motors.

The power folding mirror assemblies on 2009–2018 RAM trucks are notorious for failing due to a weak, thin plastic spur gear and an underpowered electric motor. Dealerships only offer the option to replace the entire assembly—only for it to fail again down the road. GruvenParts offers the permanent, lifetime fix.

    Great part, great price

    Posted by Ken O on 28th Dec 2024

    The parts worked well, the instructions are good. I would have them printed out and also watch the YouTube video. i was a little skeptical that I could accomplish the replacement. Afterwards, I think just about anyone can do the replacement if you do both the video and the instructions. I highly recommend these parts. The mirrors fold flawlessly and in fact, may even work better than when new.

    Power fold mirror repair kit

    Posted by Wes on 26th Nov 2024

    Kit consists of motor and gear, it works great, the passenger mirror folds faster than the drivers side. The u- tube video is a great help in making the repair, I probably spent a little over an hour making the repair. I bought two kits, saves money and it is only a matter of time till the drivers side fails. This beats having to replace the whole mirror

    Broken power mirror

    Posted by ANTHONY on 31st Jul 2024

    I replaced my broken plastic worm gear with the new motor and metal gear. The mirror works perfectly and folds twice as fast as the one that still has the plastic gear.

    Just what I needed for my Gen 4 Ram mirrirs

    Posted by John Crawford on 21st May 2024

    The quality and fit of these parts is awesome. The video was very well done and helpful. Thank you for supplying what Ram should have installed originally instead of the factory junk that causes people to look elsewhere for a well built vehicle. John Crawford

    Great Upgrade!

    Posted by Unknown on 7th Apr 2024

    I was having a problem with my passenger side mirror folding on my 2016 Ram. I found this kit online and ordered it. It came and I installed it and it works great! My passenger mirror even folds in and out faster than the driver side now. I also have to make mention that the installation instructions were extremely well written and made this job much easier. Very pleased with this product.

    Top notch parts and service

    Posted by Frank on 17th Dec 2023

    Have bought two gear/motor kits for 2016 Ram power fold mirrors. The kits are outstanding as is the customer service provided by Paul. My 2nd replacement went sideways resulting in the assembly being sent back to rebuilt at the shop facility, by Paul's suggestion no less. In my estimation this sort of thing deserves recognition for going the extra mile. Hopefully I'll not need another set of mirror parts, but if I do I'll gladly do business with Gruvenparts again.

    DIY fix for mirror fold

    Posted by Unknown on 14th Dec 2023

    Great product replaces the plastic gear This was a great. No removal of the mirror, fix while installed. The only neg is the folding of the mirror noise is a little more. To be expected as a plastic gear would be quite but not as reliable.
