A couple of weeks ago my right hanrd mIrror froze up in the folded position. I poured some tepid water over it to give it a helping hand. Then I lowered the window & operated the folding switch & at the same time pushed the mirror round by hand.It went CRack & felloff against the Door , held on only by two wires.I cursed my stupidty & the freezing weather. I had a coffee and a ciggy & attemted to replace it.For about 15 mins It just would not go back, so I thought I would just Duck Tape it & take to Dealers with some Lame excuse about build quality. On the last attempt it just went straight back into position & started working perfectly.Yep folders are great , as long as you dont try giving them a helping hand when its freezing--- I learned my lesson..!!

CJ, there were mirrors on ebay before xmas, this will be good to see if you do them..
David, they are nice and i like these better than the fixed, its usually top end cars that have the folders on them here.. we are lucky i think..
Pete, they do fold in by pushing slightly, but i would say forcing while they are frozen is a bad idea, they have to give in-case some idiot knocks into them while walking by, and we know that happens don't we...

Yes brendy the Compass is not the best looking SUV on the road, but at my age I'm looking for Safety, Traction & Visibility.--The one I was going to look at is a Limited, the only model sold in UK. This has every thing my Cali has , Plus,Freedom Drive 1,this is a Fulltime active 4 wheel drive system, also ABS & Electronic stability programme & Anti Roll over mitigation + 18" wheels & the Boston acoustics 6 changer Musigate system... If it comes in anywhere near £10,000 & they give me £7,000 for mine , I can easy find £3000 to change.... However I can see it being more £12,000 & £5,000 , so that'l be a No Deal...I may have to wait another 5 years untill the economy picks up & the Caliber is worth nothing......Oh Yea & to get back to the Post.. The Compass has Heated folding Mirrors...lol
Oh & a 2 litre Diesel Engine with a 6 speed Manual tranny....

Pete, with your cash you should go with the StarTech version.
STARTECH Refines the Jeep Compass
http://www.automotoportal.com/cars/jeep
180 hp (178 bhp) / 132 kW of rated power and a peak torque of 360 Nm (266 ft-lb) for the 2.0 CRD model, as well as a wide range of exclusive accessories: STARTECH offers an exclusive customization program for the Jeep Compass that features numerous innovative detail solutions and leaves nothing to be desired. The STARTECH SD3 tuning kit for the Compass turbodiesel model can be installed by any authorized Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealer in less than 30 minutes. It unleashes the true power inherent in the two-liter diesel
engine.
The additional 40 hp (39 bhp) / 29.4 kW and the enormous torque that's already available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, are the result of an auxiliary control module that governs the engine electronics. The engine tuning can be further optimized with the STARTECH stainless-steel sport exhaust. The latter is integrated into the STARTECH individualization concept for this Jeep model based on a brand-new idea.
The two oval tailpipes left and right are seamlessly integrated into the STARTECH rear molding, which is part of the striking designer suit for the Compass. It is styled like an underride guard. The rear molding can also be installed sans sport exhaust.
The replacement for the front apron is also shaped like a modern underride guard and lends the five-door a more aggressive expression. The front can be further refined with two stylized air dams below the turn signals. Their 'eyelashes' give the 4x4 a sharper profile. The STARTECH body conversion is rounded out by rocker panels shaped like running boards.
The STARTECH look is further dominated by custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations for the Compass, available with diameters of 19 and 20 inches, instead of the stock 18-inch wheels.
The STARTECH Monostar IV five-spoke wheels are silver polished and fill out the space below the wheel arches nicely. They are mounted in size 8.5Jx19 all around with tires in size 255/40 R 19 or in size 9Jx20 in front and back with tires in size 245/35 R 20 all around.
STARTECH also offers progressive-rate springs that lower the ride height of the American SUV by some 30 millimeters. The lowered center of gravity gives the vehicle even sportier and safer handling characteristics.
STARTECH also adds exclusive and individual highlights in the cockpit. These include stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated STARTECH logo and high-quality velour floor mats. Exclusive highlights in the Compass cockpit are added with the STARTECH Lifestyle interior upgrade package. It includes leather-covered door trim with embossed Compass logo and color-contrasted ornamental stitching that also adorns the trim piece for the dashboard. The interior is further upgraded with high-gloss silver-coated loudspeaker moldings that are designed to look like a compass.

Yes Pete, if you get it for the £10,000 that will be a good deal, i fancy the Journey myself, wouldn't get a lot for my caliber at the moment to, i would probably end up owing them money..
