Qashqai wing mirror problem

Recommended Posts

My wife's Qashqai 2013 1.6 diesel model has non-electric wing mirrors.  About 70,000 miles only.  Both wing mirrors appear competely undamaged but do not reset correctly after being manually folded in.  They adopt a position about 30 degrees part folded and will not stay completely 'out'.  It seems strange that both near and offside are defective at around the same time.  Is it possible to remove the covers over the hinge mechanism so that I can see what is wrong?  The car is otherwise in excellent condition.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi....welcome to the forums

It could be some corrosion on the mechanism (like a detent not popping back into place).

Maybe worth spraying WD40 or similar into the mirror assembly to free everything up
