Seems like you have two choices.

Ya they have some really crappy cheapo plastic gears in those mirrors.had my passenger side mirror go belly up on me ,luckily it was still under warranty so cost was zero ,they replaced the entire mirror and with painting….they only come in a primer coat the cost would have been over a Grand…..
