OMG the whole car is ruined. maybe you want to trade for my car, my driverside mirror folds both ways.... which is more than i can say about my passenger side lol.AJ wrote:But it still folds in?
it could be 1 of the 2 copper bits (inside the mirror itself, these 2 things are how it knows when to stop, so maybe its just moved/wore enough to not contact.

Haha, thanks Yang. So how do I open the mirror and have a look inside?

there's a DIY for it, i'm assuming you can find it off dstocks site (cos i remember using it, and his site seems to be the only place i go to for these things lol)AJ wrote:Haha, thanks Yang. So how do I open the mirror and have a look inside?
basically fold the mirror up undo the bolt/s... off the top of my head there's 3. then there will a series of layers of unscrewing that you have to do to get to the motor, doog luck, 1 suggestion dont try to super glue anything in there, the glue will run if u use too much then u stuff it up even more... it's not the reason why my passengerside mirror doesnt work at all now... honest
