Just wondering if anyone can help. Both my wing mirrors have been pushed inwards and as a consequence they have no tension on them and therefore cannot be electrically folded back in. The motor still works as does the mirror adjustments but it’s all a bit loose. Is there a simple fix for this?

If they have been forced back then there is a possibility that the motor(s) have been dislodged. If they have then each will probably need a new part called a 'frame'. Not cheap.

You need to get the covers off to have a look. I'm not sure how to do it on that model. Try Youtube for how to remove mirror covers.
