Folding Mirror problem
Can anyone help me. I am having a problem with my power folding mirrors on e53. When I press the button, they fold in but then pop straight back out again. I have tried a new switch, but still get the problem. I have noticed that the passenger side mirror is a little loose. Could this have anything to do with it and how do I tighten it? It is loose at the joint where the mirror folds. Thanks for any help, Im a new X5 owner and new to X5 world

Welcome to the Forum!
Search for "folding mirrors". you' ll find your answer. A small DIY in every mirror, no more that 30 minutes for an amateur and you can also tighten the loosen mirror (three torx screws under the cover).

My mirrors are now working. Thanks for your help. The place I bought the car couldnt fix the mirrors when I took it back. They were going to order a new control unit. I cant wait to tell them I have fixed it myself. This site is brilliant.

Just open the mirror covers (this is the hardest part be careful not to snap the fixings as a bit of force is required) Inside the mirror is another covr that houses a microswitch that is activated by the mirror folding. The microswitch lever has probably come away from the microswitch. You just clip the metal lever back on to the microswitch body. You will have to check both mirrors, as both need to be functional for it to work.
