My 2003 X5 with folding mirrors, has a bit of play in the driver mirror. By play I mean torsional rotation (along the plane the mirrors move when folding in.) approx. 10 degrees. I inspected the folding motor and the microswitch inside the mirror, all seem to be functioning normally. Any one have any ideas what could be the source of the movement?? motor functions well, and the mirrors stay rotated inward once they are activated to do so. When I unfold them (with the button) they move as they should, the driver one moves fine, and when it comes to a stop, it has a bit of play, as though it were loose.
I have double checked all the fasteners for the motor, and they are torqued as they should be.
Thanx
