Strange (autofold?) mirror problem

[rory_pamphilon]

Hi,

My 2001 2.8 QS has an issue with both side mirrors that I'm trying to rectify.
On my old C5 A6 with non folding mirrors if I pushed the mirrors it would take quite some effort to move them from their stationary extended position in order to fold them manually.

With my A8 they seem incredibly loose, if I push the mirror with one finger it will swing forward/backward easily which means I am often having to re-adjust the glass angle so I can see backwards properly. Do I have auto fold mirrors which are broken? or do I have manual mirrors that seem to have lost their 'click' to go into the stationary extended position?

for info, on my mirror glass angle adjust knob on drivers door I have a 6 oclock position that shows a folding mirror? but does nothing?

Thanks
