Has anyone disassembled 19+ tow mirrors?

I have a 21 1500 AT4 with the power folding tow mirrors. Recently the passenger side tow mirror will not fold most of the time. Best I can tell the motor is going out for the power fold part. I was wondering if anyone has ever taken these mirrors apart. Im wondering if I could somehow replace the motor in the mirror vs spending +/- $1000ish on a new mirror. Any help or ideas are appreciated.

Can't get new motors, so you'd end up having to find a used mirror and hope it has good parts.  

 

So...needs a new mirror.

if it works sometimes, i would check door harness plug first before tearing a mirror apart

So to elaborate a little, I have the original power fold mirrors for the truck (non tow mirrors) that I took off the truck. I was curious if the motors were the same between the two sets of mirrors to where I could swap the motors out in them.

I'm going to doubt it?  But there isn't a way to really know without opening both up, if possible.  Being GM only sells the trim, glass, lights and glass motors, a dealer wouldn't have a way to check that # as its not a serviced part in the field.
