Title: Passenger side wing mirror adjustment (now sorterd)
Post by: MAW73 on 28 April 2011, 08:33
Regarding the passenger side wing mirror I can't seem to adjust mine any further inwards ( on the left side of the mirror ).

i.e. attached pictures show my wing mirror as far left as it will go before it clunks. This dosen't seem right to me.....and its a pain on the motorway as visibility is poor for the near side lanes.

If anyone get a chance could they check theirs please.

Mine does not go further than that but we don't have a problem with visability and we are not the tallest family out there.  :lipsrsealed:

Now sorted. After adjusting the mirror up and down a few times the mirror clicked which seems to have fixed the mirror as now it can be adjusted fully to the left. The mirror is a tight fit in the housing and seems to get stuck sometimes. Problem solved  anyway now thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. I misunderstood your post the first time round and got my left and right mixed up. :embarassed:
I thought you were trying to get it to turn inwards further towards the car, ie if you were sitting far forward in the drivers seat you would need it further in towards the car. Right side of mirror in more, left side of mirror out more.
After re-reading it you wanted it to be further outwards.
The glass is just clipped in so as you say it may have just come off the clip.
Sorry for giving you false info  :embarassed:

Thanks Snoopy. Your are forgiven!  :smiley:

Don't worry I don't know my left from right half the time either.
