Tuesday, car was in perfect condition (just dirty !) ...

Thursday, I discovered the the right side mirror won't fold in properly - goes about halfway and stops - and the entire swivel mount is 'loose and floppy' ! ...

Looks like some envious and \ or nasty "person born out of wedlock" has wrenched it around ! - another bloody bill ...

Sometimes, the mountings fracture on their own... there are a couple of cases on here. Apparently some early models had problems with the castings, which was rectified in later models.

A Holes! theres been a few members posting about damage lately. Maybe its an international conspiracy?

My drivers mirror failed a day after i got it, similar symptoms to what you saidso its possibly a dud. Fixed under warranty which was a relief!

Be it a scumbag or a part failure, its not how you want to start the new year.

Could be 'natural causes', I suppose - but what puzzles me is that is still works, and if I give it a gentle "one finger assist", it closes all the way ...

Anyway, I'm waiting on the Dealer calling me in to change a faulty HID ballast unit (which I did get on warranty) - so I'll get them to take a look - who knows, lightning may strike twice ! ...

Just put it into the dealer for the faulty HID ballast, then when you pick it up say "Hey fecker, what the hell have you done to my mirror?!"

 

[Soggydiverdan]

Crivens!

 

[Kremmen]

This is especially bad when I know how well you look after yours

Did you see the number of times he broke it on his drive over from Vikingland? I think he's just careless personally

Oiihhh ! - that's not something I like to talk about !!! ...

Bloody Danes - gggrrrr ...

 

[CTR-Girl]

Aw dude, thats bad news

Went out to look today - in daylight ...

There's a yellow 'smear' under the lens of the damaged mirror ...

As I have the "auto-folding" mirror mod, it was of course folded in, and the smear is on the 'exposed' surface ...

The smear came off, with a solvent - no paint damage on my Civic ...

So, looks like it was definitely 'hit' by someone - b*st*rds !!! ...

If they hit it when it was folded in then you are lucky nothing else was damaged !

hope this helps mate, but if the mirror is still folding with a little help, then it could be the SOD (shut of device) inside the mirror, i have swopped loads at work. think they are about £20 and minutes to fit. little white box behing the mirror cap.

 

[JohnnyBoy]

Look around for yellow cars, then exact some revenge, lol

 

[Jonnyrocket]

There's a yellow CTR on eBay at the moment, they're disposing of the evidence! Seriously though it can't be that hard to find a yellow car. I'd be roaming the streets with a Rottweiler by now!
