resetting wing mirror sync

Featured Replies

The sync of the outside mirrors needs resetting. The movement of the n/s mirror is fine but the o/s one now seems to have more limited movement and is not working synchronously with the nearside one. i.e on dropping and returning the mirrors for reversing.  My initial assumption is that the sync needs resetting but there seems to be nothing on YT for this.

Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

As by alone functionality, does it work as should or still struggles?

May suggest motor is way off..

Thank you very much for your reply.

After I made the posting I looked on YT (again) and saw how a wing mirror can be detached.   Luckily I have the trim tools used for installing the cabling for the dashcam and used these to ease off the mirror together with its mounting plate. I then realised what the problem was.   Previously the mirror had almost come off and could have been lost. Luckily I saved it before that happened.   The garage said you won't re-stick it. You will need a new mirror. However, Duck tape on the back of the mirror followed by mastic and the mirror was successfully replaced. What I did not realise was that  the bottom of the mirror was touching the cowling and restricting the movement.  So I managed separate the mirror from the mounting plate (now out of the housing) and re-set the mirror properly on the plate. It's now working fine.

Thanks again for your response. I have gone though this is some detail in case the experience turns out to be of value to anyone else.

Nice to hear all well.

Kind of you to share experience!
