sanman68 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 So I spent my night tonight taking apart my passenger mirror on my 2015 Lincoln MKC. It is the automatic folding type, heated, and has BLIS, and probably other stuff I can even think of. Anyhow my mirror closes just fine but when it opens it goes past the stop for straight out and the mirror ends up pointing to the front of the car. By taking the mirror apart as far as I did I realized the entire top painted surface is removable and could be put on another mirror. Great no paint. What I need to know is where is the stop for normal driving position? It obviously is somewhere in the bottom piece. Can the stop be serviced and or repaired? These mirrors have a simple job to do and are very expensive for what you get. I really want to fix the one I have. Thanks Sanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanman68 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 I added a metal stop I made from a piece of scrap metal. I glued it in with black silicone adhesive. I looks like this. It works for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The mirrors have break away clutches for when the mirror is hit or folded manually instead of power folded. Cycle the mirrors folded and unfolded a couple times with the button and mirror should click back into the clutch and work as intended. 2-3 times should be plenty to make it engage.

I know the instructions for re-calibrating the mirrors on my 2018 MKZ are in my Owners Manual. Check yours to see if the instructions are also in your Owners Manual. Maybe it will cure your problem. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanman68 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I tried to recalibrate several times and it never worked. The stop I made is working so I'm not going to change it. The mirrors operate fine now. I appreciate the help. Sanman68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
