    My electric wing mirrors both sides don’t work and are slightly loose.
    Is this a common problem, is there a simple fix?
    Thx

    "what have you done to your ferrari today" #2286 post


    Well I finally had time today to tackle that wing mirror switch, plenty of cursing was coming from the garage :)
    A real pain in the ass, but it's working perfectly so all ends well.
    Had to break down two old padlocks so I could salvage some newer springs and use in my switch.
    The problem was easy to understand after the PCB was taken off, four out of six of the ball bearings were sitting low and stuck inside the plastic holder (see pic), because some of the springs had become too compressed and damaged so had to use some new ones in the end as they kept getting stuck again and again.
    A few pics below for reference to others it may help

    loose wing mirrors---remove rubber and tighten up bolt with a star washer added behind it, they hold better but if the bracket is broken you can buy new ones from Hills Engineering or Verrel i believe

    I now have both my wing mirrors all working.
    Needed 2 new Hills brackets, one motor and a tighten up.
    Its a RHD UK model 328 GTB,....the left side mirror will not adjust in orientation enough for the driver to see down the line of the car.
    If you sit in the passenger seat on the left you can set the mirror perfectly.
    I've now realised that this mirror is for a LHD euro car!
    Someone has fitted the wrong mirror in the last 34 years.

    Does anyone have the correct LH UK RHD mirror lying around they would sell me or is there any kind of adaption that can be done?
    The part number is 61172700

    Thanks,
