Electric wing mirrors

Post by turfite9999 » Fri Jun 09, 2023 8:23 am

Hi Bongonaughts hope you all well and enjoying weather, can anyone please advise me how to tighten electric mirrors on a 1996 Bongo please they a bit loose, and blow back at speed.

Thank you in advance

Unfortunately they use plastic gears and the problem I've had is they strip once damaged and then the problem appears. I ended up replacing mine as I couldn't find suitable replacement motors/gear trains.

In my distant bad memory, don't I remember there is a way to reset em. It's either use the buttons to take em fully forward them back, this centralises the auto adjust.
Or maybe just manually push them forward then back.
It makes a horrible noise.
Or is my memory playing tricks.

Yes your right on that Ady, but I had assumed that had been tried but maybe not ? So do try operating the switch fully in both directions to start with and yes just wince at the noise!
