My vanity mirrors that is :oops:

Both my vanity mirror 'lids' have lost their springiness - just sort of flop around. I've not had this with either f my previous 996s but to have two gone... is it a common problem and does anyone have a DIY fix?

actually, just realised my drivers one has gone floppy. the vanity light switches itself off sometimes. not a big deal.

i guess the easiest way would be to buy two new ones. can't think of anything that would make something regain the spring in its life.

u could try viagra :D

Interesting, as this was about the only "problem" found on my 996 when I had a pre purchase Porsche inspection done. That and a dodgy ashtray action :)

I believe these had to be replaced to solve the issue.

Bring it on Alex. You're obviously on good form today. You're not an afternoon drinker by any chance?
