Anyone know what the cost of the metal gears were, before they sold out? Thanks.
I’m curious as well. I’m going to try looking for a donor motor to remove the gears and have my uncle create me some plastic gears using a 3D printer. That way I at least have a backup plan.

Did you create the 3D printable file? If so, I would be greatly interested in it as I need to print this part as well.

ive had this issue and i think ive found the fix, i activate the mirrors to fold in, leave them
like that for a few
minutes or park for a few
minutes and shut down motor get a coffee or whatever, 5 10 minutes later start her up and hit the button to open them back up... no floppy mirrors since...worked for me.. just passing along..

2019 Ram Laramie I have the similar problem with the clicking on opening (passenger). Now the motor just makes a running sound but there is no movement of the mirror. To bad warranty is up. Have no idea the replacement cost.
