Re: nearside wing mirror - does it retract or not?

Re: nearside wing mirror - does it retract or not?

Try pulling the NS mirror forward (ie the wrong way) hopefully it'll trigger the motor back into synch & all will be ok, as Bob says, it should work with the OS mirror folding action. If that doesn't work, it may need surgery/replacement. The bottom part is just a cover, there aren't really 2 pa...

What about these as an alternative? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-MINI-One- ... 4aaef72b3e
Not sure if they'll fit, but may be worth trying.

Re: Wing Mirrors

I take it you mean you can adjust the position of the mirrors ok, do yours not fold in electrically? It won't do any harm to fold them in manually either way.

Re: An unknown problem
