Power Mirror Not Folding
As my 2012 GL350 gets older, there seems to be more issues popping up and my need to ask for help!
2-3 months ago I was at the car wash and drying underneath the passenger side power mirror with the engine off. After drying everything off, I started my car and noticed the passenger side mirror didn’t fold outward. I got out of my car with the engine running and manually pulled the mirror out then drove home. I noticed after that incident the passenger side mirror has been slow in folding and makes a mild grinding noise. Today, the mirror stopped working al together unless I help fold the mirror in or out.
my question is.... How do I fix this mirror?

You may want to open up the mirror to see if there is any problem inside. Mine had a couple of severed wires that I spliced back together to fix.

I haven't taken the mirror completely off the door on this car before, but like most cars I believe you need to pop the triangle trim piece inside the door and remove any bolt(s) holding the assembly to the door. If the harness connector is not in the triangle piece then you'll have to pop the inside door panel to find out where it goes to disconnect it.
