Powerfold mirrors - extending out too far?!
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
As per the title really gents...the powerfold mirror on my 2000 XKR passenger side (RHD car) doesn't stop when unfolding - it continues all the way out until it's parallel to the car body!
I think there's meant to be some kind of bump stop that's meant to hold it in the correct position.
Any advice / tips on how to fix without buying a whole new mirror housing?
Thanks in advance!

On the Power Fold Mirror, there's a locating peg moulded into the base (arrowed in red):

If the mirror is folded back manually or otherwise dislodged, the mirror head may not be properly located on this peg and not fold to the correct positions. To re-engage the mechanism, power the mirror to foldback position and then back out to the drive position.
If there's a fault with the mechanism, this thread from the X308 section is the best guide to repair:

Within this thread, there's a description of how to deliberately adapt the mirror to fold fully forward.
