Hi,

Right-door rear-view mirror on my Lancia Thema 2000 i.e. 16V doesn't
work. When I try to align it, it seems that an electrical motor of
mirror works but mirror glass doesnt't move.

I couldn't reach inside of mirror to check if electrical motor have
contanct with glass or not.

How can I do it? Where can I find a reparation guide for door mirrors?

Best regards,
Rustam

I've only ever had this problem once on my rover 400, there were several
screws which rotated to adjust the angle and pitch and it had rotated off
one of them completely, with a bit of fiddling and cursing whilst operating
the switch it screwed back on. It may be easier to remove the glass if you
can so you can see what you're doing.

You will find that Lancia want you to buy a new one!

You should take off the glass to see what is wrong with the motor - it may
be a electric-motor driven rack & pinion - the racks sometime fall off of
the pinion. (small gear wheel)

Mike's mirror uses a Britax Rainsford type motor - probably different to
yours. (And made in Australia)

Damn those aussies get every where, although they do seem to be a bit
quieter of late...
