Default S430 Loose Mirrors

Any fix or TSB known for the driver's and pass. mirrors. The function properly but have a several mm gap at the leading edge that is eliminated by moving the housing. The pass side seems to hit something not allowing the gap to completely close.

Default RE: S430 Loose Mirrors

Looks like this is a pseudo breakaway mirror. I drove the car and the mirrors are tight with no gap, they are not a true breakaway like BMW for the last 20 years but they do allow some "give" in the event of a bump as I did when claying it yesterday. The tightening process seems to be a mechanical set up but may run off of vacuum like the locks. Either way, I am glad to see this near annoyance solved.
