That happened to me and i had to put it in to the stealers to get the full mirror replaced, just by chance it was covered under warranty ..... |

Thought as much - i have paid for the additional warranty so i might aswell get it in the garage,

After having left my Sport in Long stay parking, they had manually pushed the mirrors in, resulting in nothing happening when I went to open them up, I had the push them out past the horrible cracking noise, hopefully it will be ok for you. Discovery 4 HSE

Did anybody solve this? I went to the dealer and their "fix" was to buy another mirror. Which to me, means spending almost $1,000 USD on it. Which is ridiculous and should be an easy fix I guess. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue

When one of the mirrrors gets hit it will close in as it does on mine and when that happens i press the button and it just moves back to the normal position so surley the answer is to force the offending mirror in to the closed position then see what happens when you press the button |

And IF you did have to replace the mirror, maybe its cheaper to get one via a UK dealer and have it posted than buy it locally? Discovery 4 HSE

My car does this but haven't been in a situation where I need to fold the mirrors so will wait until the first service to get it rectified. Unlike Vogue Owner, I don't get any noises. |

I'm sure there is something in the handbook about this. I'll have a dig when I can find it! |

Some guy told me in another forum that double clicking the button should work, and that it actually says so in the manual, havenŽt tried it yet.

The double clicking worked. Not on the first try though, I had to double click it several times, but eventually one mirror folded back out and now I have both mirrors synched again. 2008 Freelander 2 Td4 HSE Buckingham Blue
