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.

Awesome! I love this forum. Simply clicked the mirror housing back on to the peg properly and job's a good 'un!

3 second fix. Thanks!

 

You would also be well advised to squirt a little WD40 in there every now and again.

And for those who have never removed the mirror from the door, the condition of the bracket will come as a surprise:



This mirror is from a 2004 XKR Coupe. The bracket is gradually turning to white powder.
