Can I fix a Toyota Estima wing mirror that over rotates on starting?

Our 98 Estima's wing mirror got swiped in a car park one day, and since then, the automatic swing of the mirror on start up makes a nasty click where it should stop, but keeps rotating around instead. if you offer a bit of resistance its happy to stop in the right place, but its pretty annoying to be poking your arm out in pouring rain to do so! is there any easy fix? Its a chrome covered mirror, and we've been told theyre very hard to get hold of ..

Hi, we have exactly the same problem. We have just bought a new switch. It wasn't that. What did work is when we took the switch out completely and gaffer taped the mirrors in place. Got to say, not my ideal solution. Still working on a real fix.

Hey Dave - yeah, we drilled a hole through the column and put a screw in!! Obviously we now cant bring the mirror in, but you can still adjust it so thats close enough for us!! :)
