Rearview mirror slowly drooping
Just to clarify, the issue I'm having is not the exterior side mirrors but the center mirror looking back towards the tailgate window.
I would align the mirror to where it should be but over the course of a few days, the mirror will slowly droop. Eventually I would have to realign the mirror as I am unable to see out the bottom half of the window. The obvious answer would be to take it to the dealer but before I do so, I thought I drop a query here and see if anyone has any suggestions for a simple fix. Thanks. |

Looks like the mirror is sloping off on its own accord. Let me know how you get on resolving. It hasn't bothered me enough to do anything about it at this stage. |

aw, you might want to get that fixed at a dealership ASAP before it becomes a road hazard, adjusting it everytime :X
Good Luck~ |

I would suggest taking the car to the dealership. Before you do, if you have homelink garage door option, check to see if you are applying too much pressure when you press the homelink garage door thing. If the mirror is too loose, maybe even slight pressure would tilt the mirror down. It could be a matter of tightening up whatever is holding it up.
The buttons are in an odd location... |

Seems like these rear view mirrors are too heavy or the support in it is terrible! Thank you everyone for the input. Will bring it to the dealer first chance I get.

I don't think about this too much because my wife drives the X3 most of the time. Whenever I get in after her, I always have to adjust the mirror.
Anyway, I was just saying the other day about the terrible location of the HomeLink. My other cars have it on the front of the roof liner. |
