Power side mirror ???

The power mirror on my 88 GTA just quit going up and down. It still goes side to side though. Can these be repaired, or just replaced? Thanks

If one side works & the other does not, then it's probably the motor behind the mirror, or the wiring between the switch & the motor. If both sides lost that functionality, then the switch is probably defective.

I assume that in order to replace the motor, the mirror assembly has to come of the door?

Not really. Just pull off the glass mirror(carefully)There's 2 tabs-top and bottom-
There's some screws behind there just take them off and unplug the harness(inside door)should come right out.
