I searched the forum for this but came up helpless. I am sure this is a comon problem but I had no luck finding a post.

Pass side mirror will not adjust properly, clicking all the time. This car has the power fold feature also.
When folding or adjusting, a nice blue plume of smoke comes out of it, smelling like the motor or wiring is burning. Something is getting real hot for a brief moment.
The fold motor works just fine.

Questions:
1) Is the adjustment motor replaceable only? If so,
2) How do I get to it?

I watched a video (W210) of the mirror removal, but this one was non power folding. The vertical clip does not seem to facilitate the removal of the cover on mine.

Any help or direction is much appreciated.
