Folding mirrors-(again)!!!!

Post by Johnny-p » Sun Jul 21, 2013 9:09 am

Hi all
Sorry if this has been covered before but I have a problem with my folding mirrors..
They both work as they should electrically/heating etc..
They even fold smoothly and quickly with no jerkyness,but when they get to the fully closed position they open out again in one
Any pointers would be gratefully appreciated!!
Cheers
John..

I believe this is a problem with a microswitch - Sanj and others have done the repair.  Mine did this and the full mirror units replaced under BMW warranty, crazy for a switch costing pennies!
