[XC60 II 2019 D4] Problem with unfolding mirrors

luki82 · Dec 27th, 2020, 17:40

Hi,
Next problem in my Volvo XC60

After opening the car, the mirrors does't fully unfold. The mirror motor sounds very hard. Take a look at the video:

I have to press the unfolding and folding button several times so that the mirror unfolds completely. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Yep, my MY2018 did this soon after I got it.

Mentioned it to the dealer at service time. They did 'something', sorry can't remember what but it didn't involve replacing anything (possibly lubrication of some kind). It was fine for a couple of years then started to do it again - needed two or three attempts to unfurl correctly. Didn't get it fixed as I traded in the car soon after.

Exactly. Only the second or third time do the unfold correctly.

Hello again
Today I picked up car from service. They replaced two mirror bodies in the car under warranty

The mirrors fold and unfold again

I have had the same problem tonight.

The fact that the car is frozen pretty solidly I dont think helped.
I made sure the wipers were freed from the windscreen, but what can you do with mirrors which unfold (or not) when the car is unlocked?
I would have thought that a car designed in Sweden would be able to cope with the cold a little better.

Do I have to wait till spring or is there something I can do to unfold the mirrors?

I thought the same, but as you can see, our Swedish cars are not cold-proof
