side mirror pop
Same thing happen to me on my 97. First it was the passenger side mirror,
then 3 weeks later the drivers side mirror. Neither of the mirrors had experienced an impact hit of any type or were delibertly swung back, I simply backed out of the garage and noticed the mirror swung out of position. Curious you had the same problem, cost me about $300 a pop to replace the units.

side mirror pop
So far so good on the 02. I took a sudden hit from a lane-splitting
biker about a month ago. I was going about 10 mph, the biker about 30 so it was 20 mph leather jacket against the mirror. "Clunked" back into place OK. Have taken similar hits on an 01 Buick and an 03 Buick with no failures. I think most of these hits were out near the tip of the mirror rather than near the pivot point (root) maybe that makes a difference, maybe the newer mirrors are upgraded. -- PJ H & A wrote: > Same thing happen to me on my 97.
