Retractable mirror broken

[cullinan18]

This morning (it was 14 degrees) everything started out fine and I took the kids to their bjj class. As I opened the side mirrors pulling out of the parking spot, the passenger side mirror didn't stop in the normal perpendicular "open" spot and kept going to nearly 180 degrees.

The Expy is only 6 months old, so it's under warranty, but it is dang annoying. Maybe some water froze in the track and kept it from locking in place. Maybe the gears are broken. Either way I've got a service appointment in a little over a week.

There is a reset procedure that you can do yourself. You run the mirrors to the full extent position until it clicks and then back the other way.

From Page 79 of the owner's manual

If you manually fold your power-folding
mirrors, they may not work properly even
after you re-position them. You need to
reset them if:
• The mirrors vibrate when you drive.
• The mirrors feel loose.
• The mirrors do not stay in the folded or
unfolded position.
• One of the mirrors is not in its normal
driving position.
To reset the power-fold feature, use the
power-folding mirror control to fold and
unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud
noise as you reset the power-folding
mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this
process as needed each time you manually
fold the mirrors.

Yeah trust me they aren’t broken...mine have done this a couple of times in minus degree weather...just use the joystick to open and close them a few times until they figure it out. Personally, I don’t fold them if it’s icy or cold out.
