Lazy mirror!?!

Does anyone ever heard of this before? Once every two days i have to adjust my drivers side mirror because it has droped about an inch. It doesnt go all the way down but enough to where i have to fix it back up. It's not realy that important to me but might just be an easy fix for all i know.

same

I have the same f-ing problem. Its annoying but not that big of a deal. Its worse when its the passenger's side cause thats harder to adjust. I think the prev. owner just installed cheap mirrors.

Limited's have power mirrors. The adjustment for the passenger side is no further than your left wrist.

I haven't had the problem here though (touches wood). Although my pass side mirror doesn't return to it's memory positions. I have to adjust it again every time my wife's been driving it...

My wife's 04 does it all the time. There is a fix; it involves taking the mirror apart so that you can get at the electrical contacts. We have an extended service contract which will mean that they put a new mirror on. Here's the DIY fix.

Memory Mirror Fix - Thanks to Moparman

Inside the mirror there is a sensor that tracks where it sits and this gets dirty and it screws up. Here is the fix.

Put the window down, as its easier to work, take the mirror and tilt it down all the way. Now carefully pull up on the mirror and it will unsnap from the housing. Lay it down on the door with a rag under it so as not to scratch the door. Now if you look there are 4 little tabs hooked into the plastic frame that the mirror attached to.........take a little flat screwdriver and carefully unhook/pry them out. Once you have them unhooked take and carefully put your fingers behind the frame and pull it off the pivot in the centre of the motor assy. Once that is off take and remove the torq. screws holding the motor to the mirror frame .Holding it flat, take out the rest of the screws. There are 2 more under the little rubber "condom" that goes over the 4 little arms .Now VERY carefully separate the 2 halves. Make sure the arms stay in the motor!! Once you have the arms off, you’ll see the little "fingers" against the little resistor strip. VERY carefully ,and not mixing up the arms, take them out, clean off the old grease from the strips in the motor, and then clean up the "fingers", being careful as they are very easily bent. Bend them out a bit so they have good contact and then regrease them with dielectric grease(radio shack etc)Your done!! Just reverse the steps to put it back together.
