Access to outside mirror glass?

1993 900S turbo convertible

During storage, the glass in the two outside mirrors has gotten out of place. Who knows how? The electric adjustment is at the end of its range of movement, but the mirrors are still pointing to the rear windows, and not the lane next to me.

The mirror heads are properly positioned on their bases, and not have not been knocked out of position.

I have gently pushed with my thumb on each piece of glass, and as expected, it will pop-pop-pop to a position nearer the proper one - but not near enough.

I don't know what happened in there, but I guess I need to get inside the housing, to see if the motors and glass mounts have gotten moved out of place. I can't find the magic path to get access. I have the Official Saab 900 Service Manual by Robert Bentley - several hundred pages and quite good - but it doesn't touch this area.

Many thanks in advance

On the under side of the mirror housing, behind the glass, is an opening. Stick a small screwdrver inside and move it to the left, or right. That will unlock the glass from the motors. Be ready to catch the glass when it pops off ... :-(

Many thanks, MH. I thought that was simply a weep hole. I'll try it today.
