Nearside mirror not returning from dipped position

[Gnasher]

Just an update - I've had the mirrors set to not fold in when parked for a while now and it's not happened since, so my only guess is that there was some form of water ingress in the mirrors.

This only started happening after I had to park my car outside overnight and the masses of rain that we've had arrived. Normally it's in the garage overnight so doesn't get the prolonged periods of rain on it that it's now had.

I was thinking about this thread a couple of days ago when I was full on pressure washing my wingmirrors. I've never had a problem

Where are your 'wing mirrors'? On your doors?!!

Off topic, but I’m old enough to remember when wing mirrors were actually attached to the front wings of a car, hence why they were called wing mirrors, like on the Morris Minor traveller in this YouTube video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y3I5tMtJMX0

Many people do refer to door mounted rear view mirrors as wing mirrors (incorrectly IMO). If I’m going to be pedantic, the correct term should IMO be door mirrors, although if you do a google search on ‘car wing mirrors’ the vast majority of the images displayed will be of door mounted mirrors!

I'm old enough to remember them but door mirrors are pretty much what they are normally referred to these days.

I call them door mirrors. Ring me and I'll say it for you. 07971 421543

That's not my actual phone number, but it would be funny if sjw called it and asked whoever to say it.
