    Mavericks never had electric mirrors. Although I have been taking apart electric mirrors on various makes and model cars in the junkyard to see which would be best to steal the guts out of to make my sport mirrors electric. ;)

    You should be able to move the mirror manually just by pushing on it. All my vehicles that have electric mirrors move every time I wash them.
