The side mirrors on my jeep fold in worse when the door skins are off. I noticed that in the summer they fold way down but i dont mess with them much in the winter, unless Tabitha drives. Her high speed driving folds them back. I have thought about using thread locker on the adjustment ball to hold the passenger side in place. I think tread locker would provide enough resistance to keep the mirror in place but if i needed to adjust it then i could break it loose if needed. It will be a few months before i consider this again. The door skins came off for the first time today but only for around town driving. It was around 60 degrees in Oklahoma today. Yay!

He may mean a solenoid. I've been looking for months and months, but haven't had much luck. Hope it works out for you.

eny one know if there eny good?
Looks like a good deal to get the door uppers too... But those zips don't look upto much, I work outside & come across loads of different zips in the elements through my clothing. I've had a zip like this & it clogged up n the teeth bent, the best tops have a nice chunky plastic zipper, I've never had such problems with them :). Hope that helps?
