This might sound a stupid question but how are the mirrors adjusted?

I have just acquired an "S" and the previous owner was a lot taller than me so I want to alter them before getting out on it.

I can't see any obvious way other than just turning them but as they are a bit stubborn I don't want to force anything.

There is nothing in the handbook about mirrors.

Cheers

Swear alot and wiggle them by hand, that's how everybody else does it

Use both hands, one at each end, use the inside hand to push against- otherwise the mounts move instead. It took me ages to work that out

Us racing snakes have no such problems- I can actually see in the rear mirrors of a 748

I find the the "Chewy22" mirror extenders a vast improvement

Yeah they are but maybe I just have extra braod shoulders or I have'nt set them properly...probably the latter, but I still struggle occasionally to see past my elbows.
