Anyone seen this before?
So i leave my car at work with the doors unlocked & keys inside for 8hrs. Its very secure, so no worries there. Anyways I walk up to the car thinking my keys are in my backpack and press the access button on the door handle. Here is the result.
The wing mirror opened itself making it flip forwards, this did not affect the near side mirror.
I got inside & presses the retract button once, it went into the usual open position, pressed the retract button again & got a clunk & it reseated itself
Reversing Wing Mirror
Does look funny. But i'd take it back to dealer and show them. Also keep a detailed note of anything that goes wrong with the car with days times etc. (you may need it later, i hope not though..)
I owe, I owe = so it's of to work i go

Were the mirrors left unfolded when you left the car? If so someone probably knocked one as they brushed past the car forcing it just past its natural position. Then when you tried to unlock the already unlocked car the motors to unfold the mirror did just that, but because the mirror had been jolted and was already "open" and past its proper place it carried on.
This has happened to me before with another car ( Citroen C4 Picasso) as I knocked mirror when washing car and didnt realise.

Hi Sport,
Yes the mirrors were in the normal driving configuration, unfolded. The mirror did appear to be in the correct position when I started to try to unlock the car but as you say, it may have been possible someone bumped it a little that I did not see or notice. The thing is that the front nearside mirror did not move, so I guess your idea would only work if the mirror has a position sensor.

Anyone know how to adjust the side mirrors ?
I can't find any button to operate them .
Also I want to know if they are electrically heated .
I'm a P plate, pass my driving licence in July 2016. don't know much about cars .
Thank you!
