• Another mirror problem now!

    From Percival P. Cassidy@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 11 21:25:34 2018
    While backing out of the garage I caught that new mirror on something
    and it folded forward (yes, it's supposed to be able to bend back). Now
    it's stiff enough to remain where I want it most of the time, but the
    detent feature doesn't work. What did folding it forward actually do internally, and is there any way to fix it?

    Just about nobody is going to be able to tell by Usenet exactly how you
    screwed up your new mirror.

    Look at the bright side: it no longer matters whether the vendor sold
    what they were advertising, since you've now broken it in a way that no
    sane warranty will cover. So now you get to buy a new mirror, hopefully
    being more careful to make sure it has the features you want, without
    worrying about whether you should get your money back out of the old
    one.

    I thought someone might have had one of these mirrors apart and would be familiar with the detent mechanism.

    Maybe 'll just attack the old one and see what I can find.
