Cant see in Passenger mirror

[mikemk4gti]

Just picked up a Leon fr today.
For some reason I can't see much in the passenger mirror, with it adjusted all the way in and the seat right back I can just about see the side of the car, anyone else have this problem?

Check that the mirror housing itself hasn't been knocked forward or backward, and the mirror glass is firmly attached as it can get unclipped.

I've checked it and all seems secure. The mirrors are electric folding so don't want to force it really

Can see out of mine fine. Maybe the glass part of the electric mirror isn't turning in as far as it should ?

It seems to be moving fine? Is it easy to remove the glass without breaking it?

 

[Slimy]

Both of mine broke as I was removing them, so I wouldn't recommend trying to remove them. Then again, it's not that expensive to get new ones (even the heated ones) so it might be worth the risk?

With regards to the housing, even though they are electric they are still designed to 'pop' out of shape in the event of an impact. What I might suggest trying is folding them in to see if they both fold in the same distance.

Right, Ive had a look on ebay for a replacement incase it does break and theres quite a few different ones.
Now i'm thinking, maybe the one thats fitted is the wrong one as its flat with the blind spot bit. should it be a concave (curved) one instead?

Tried adjust the mirror with a bit of force, cracked the glass
