Quick and Cheap Fix for folding Mirror Problem
I was about to tackle this repair with the drill option when I had another idea. It's pretty cold in my garage (less than 40 F) here in the U.P. and I worried about breaking one of the plastic tabs that hold the mirror housing cover in place. Instead of taking the cover off, I sprayed large amounts of WD-40 into the small gap between the mirror housing and the mount from all angles I could reach. I repeated the process several times, and lo and behold, by the next morning, the mirror had found its own way back to where it's supposed to park and now it works. As most farm boys know, it's not really broken until you determine that WD-40, baling wire, and duct tape won't fix the problem.
