Here's the deal: On many of the 1990 and later models, for sure the R129 and W140, there are small white "links" or rods used in the exterior rear view mirrors. These links or rods connect from a bracket on the back of the mirror to the motor in the 9:00 o'clock and 3:00 o'clock positions, and are the means by which the mirror is moved from side to side.
Because they are fairly small and delicate, they are often broken when servicing the mirrors and are so weak that one can even break them by manually moving the mirrors. If they break, the mirror will still move up and down but not side to side. These links are not sold as separate parts, meaning that if they are broken the whole mirror motor assembly must be replaced. I want to try and find a couple of these links that are intact so that I can duplicate them. This is an ideal opportunity for a 3-D printer. If you have any of these or might be able to grab a couple or a complete mirror assembly they can be liberated from, please let me know. I know some of you frequent the pick and pulls in your areas, and this would be the perfect place to find some of these.
