Mirror folding problem

[SL03 JOE]

Hi there people! Right had a strange moment last night, well after driving to London to see winter wonderland I filed my passenger side mirror in.

When I came back to the car and unlocked it the mirror went backwards, but because I pushed it in when the mirror went outwards it's now facing right out wards, but of I try to pull it back it won't lock into place just wobble about.

For some reason the mirror only locks into place when it's facing right out. I have no idea what's happened or how to fix it, but it's really bugging me. Because now the mirror just wobbles about as it's not like slotted into place.


Any idea anyone?



Thanks, joe.

This happens when fitting new electric mirrors a lot also,for say if the mirror is in the folded position and you unfold it by pushing it the motor hasnt moved as such so thats why its floppy and moves around and doesnt lock in to position,you normally have to send them out and in or vice-versa to get it to the point it was last time to sync it
