Folding Wing Mirror
Morning All.
Do you remember those wonderful COVID free days of early 2019, specifically January? I do it was just before setting off on a great week in the Alps and I collected an XC60 from the (not so) local dealer, no social distancing required! On that day I noticed that the driver side wing mirror unfolded at a slower rate than the passenger, naturally I ignored it, just a quirk. However, over time it did start to annoy me and I noticed that it was labouring to 'unfurl' and more recently stopped half way on occasion. Fast forward we're now near 2 years into this smoker so I thought prudent to get it addressed at the annual service (courtesy of the service plan). The point of this unnecessarily long post is apparently it's a common fault more often than not drivers side, sometimes remedied with software update (apparently!?) but more often requires wing mirror gubbins replacement. So if you're struggling with tardy wing mirrors it might be worth getting them appraised whilst in warranty or it'll cost you a pretty penny.

My previous MY2018 XC60 had this issue on the driver's side mirror a couple of years ago. Reported it to the dealer who did something (lubricated something perhaps - certainly didn't replace anything) which resolved it.
The problem returned earlier this year and worsened, to the point where the driver's mirror would not unfold at all occasionally - folding and unfolding the mirrors using the two buttons would eventually result in the drivers mirror unfolding. I didn't bother getting it sorted as we were approaching trade-in time but I would echo James77's point about getting it sorted under warranty.

2019 XC60 same issue with driver side mirror regularly not returning to driving position - whole mirror assembly replaced by dealer (Scottish Borders) under warranty without question.

I hadn't thought of it as a particular fault until this thread, but as I have the extended warranty for another year it may be wise to investigate - so thank you Op. |

Lozzingers - no it was the whole mirror assembly (body coloured) not folding out when car unlocked - occasionally at first then more frequent - dealer gave me the impression had seen the issue before so was happy to replace under warranty.

I suspect I’ve got this issue at the moment - on my car it seems to go hand in hand with the particular 360’ camera not working either.
I’ll have to contact my dealer at some point but I’ve another 2 1/2 years of warranty so will wait for it to get worse. |

I recall having a wing mirror get stuck after one or 2 of our "vicious" southern England frosts last winter (!!!#!!). If it happens again this winter is this worth pursuing with a dealer? I seem to recall it was only the driver side too...

Spray some silicone spray in the swivel point of the mirror to stop them from freezing up, also on the door seals to stop the doors sticking, I use it every year as my doors freeze to the seals otherwise, especially the rear doors, the door top seals are the worst for freezing. Its cold up North.
