I'm afraid to touch it again.
I'm looking forward to the responses. I checked two cars at the junkyard with folding mirrors and they were also not working properly.

That sucks :-(. I hate cutting wires which is why I didn’t do it, but now I regret it. I drilled the ever-living christ out of mine and no luck. All the DIY’s I found are so vague on details/photos. I drilled until I found a spring, but nothing underneath the spring moved at all. I thought there was supposed to be a pin or something... Maybe mine was just that seized?? Anyway, frustrated is an understatement.
The only DIY I found that looks like a proper fix involves welding, sooo....
I might go check out a generic parts yard where the assembly will cost me $30 instead of the laughable $250 I was quoted today.
tlow98 Thanks for the suggestion of car-part. I’ve used in the past with success so I’ll check it out again.
