Ducato long arm mirror folds in on M/way (2 Viewers)

OK thanks for that will give it a go tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

If you are on a stop over without tools, a quick temporary solution is cut a long elastic band. Stretch it and as you do, wind it into the gap where the mirror pivots. As you release the tension the rubber expands so giving more friction i the joint. A long term fix is drill and stainless self tapping screw to permanently lock the arm. Down side is anything clipping the mirror will destroy it rather than fold it in

...have to push ours in every time we go out of the drive or back in, also usually put them in when parkwed at the kerbside in a town.

The more you fold the mirrors the weaker the spring becomes and the easier they self fold.

Ducato mirror tension

My 2010 Ducato passenger mirror has started folding back when over about 50mph :( Is there a way on adjust the tension on the arms? It's the arm to door joints not mirror to arms.

Blue writing? It's a link to the thread mentioned with a fix for the mirror arm. A quick tip, if you can't read the text due to colour, highlight it and it will show in contrasting colour

Yes I thought of that after posting. Sometime after 3 weeks away you just want to get the l;ast hour home over with.
