Overextending door mirror

[Cirrus]

Week one is going well, exhaust fumes and now a drivers door mirror that has decided it wants to lead the way.

This morning I manually folded the door mirrors with the button located between the mirror adjustors and after a couple of hours went back, opened the car and pressed the same button to extend. Only now the driver side mirror doesn't stop in the normal position but carries on to the very furthest extension.

Does anyone have the remedy for this? Passenger side is working fine, I've tried pushing it back to the closed position in hope of a reset (no joy). Could it be battery related or internal mechanism perhaps?

Pushing elextrically driven gears manually is a sure way to damage the gears.

Time to take it apart I say.

Fumes is the cabin could be an injector - but needs testing.

Think I'll pop it apart as you say, it's not a hard job thankfully and give it a thorough clean and re-greasing. The hammer can stay in the box for now..
