Hi - my drivers side wing mirror folds back against the van at anything above 40mph (Fiat Ducato, long arm mirror).. Having looked into this, it looks like quite a few people have had this problem so I took the arm apart and part of the mechanism has corroded + broken and can't be fixed. Duct taping it into position is my temporary solution..
I have bought a replacement on ebay and when extended + adjusted all the way 'out' I can only see the road in about a third of the mirror - the side of my van is mostly in view, which is less than ideal.
I sent that mirror back and ordered another one from a different vendor - same problem. The only way to see the road properly will be to duct tape it into a different position - exactly what I am having to do with my old mirror, so a bit of a pointless exercise so far..
I am going to send the second replacement back - has anyone successfully replaced a ducato wing mirror (long arm) without paying £££ for an official Fiat one / has anyone else experienced this with a replacement - not being able to see the road and if so where did you source a replacement from?
Thanks
