Side mirrors don't stay folded
2005 X5 3.0i sport
I press the little button to fold the side mirrors. They fold but unfold right away. I checked the old posts on how to repair but most of the suggested links do not exist anymore. Can someone help? Thanks! |
99% its the microswith.

If someone can show how to remove the mirror cover, I'd be thankful.

Just pop it off at the seam. Need be careful. Really careful. Might help if it's inside - plastic a bit warmer. The clips on them are fairly fragile if not done slowly. I broke one clip and knew from then I need to slow down.....regardless, the cover snaps back and holds in place just fine with the 1 broken clip..

I know they won't fold if the car is in drive! Needs to be in park!

Actually, I think they will FOLD as long as it's under 10-8 mph.
I've squeezed through congested streets with double parked trucks....and no room with the mirror to squeeze through. Have def. folded them in to squeeze through. Can't recall if it I had had to brake but I'm pretty sure if you are at a snails pace, the system will let you engage them. The OP is more about it auto-retracting back out. |
I have one mirror doing that.......I remember seeing a post w/ how-to and photos. Will try to find....

+1 on the micro switch - mine did that too - was the driver side switch (popped out of it's holder). Popped it back in and now both mirrors fold correctly. :thumbup:
|
a search will show you threads on how to remove the covers, where the microswitch is and how to fix/replace it.

Maybe I am thinking about reverse? I know I had the mirrors not wanting to retract when I had it in the garage last week or so..... I realized I had it in gear rather than park. Could have been in reverse when I was doing that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
