Random byproduct though, my passenger side mirror no longer tilts down when put in Reverse, it tilts inward and does not return. Not sure what could have caused this, the mirror controls work perfectly fine.

I'll report back if I fix it in case others encounter it.

Also, one piece of missing info from the original writeup (which was suuper helpful) was the removal of the center tilt control module. The silver screw in the center needs to be removed and then you can pull the unit straight out with a little wiggling and force. It pushes right back in. Be careful when reinserting the silver screw, as it threads into soft plastic and is easy to strip. If you take your time, everything comes apart easy and goes back together nicely.

I had the same issue when it came to the downward tilt of the passenger side mirror. I managed to fix it by gently pressing in the center of the mirror so it snaps back into the motor. Make sure that you do not put too much pressure.
