The trick is to do some marking on the housing to find the proper alignment when assembling it back. We had a tough time putting it back due to the non marking during dismantling. (ha..ha.. Learn from mistake)The auto fold out "again" is a safety feature of the X5. When one mirror is not fold in properly, the control module will send a signal to the other mirror to fold out. Sometime the problem could be due to the limit switch but most of the time it is due to the worn out worm gear. I have also order a spare limit switch for beemerback the last time but we didnt use it cos there was nothing wrong with the switch.The limit switch act as a "Lock Position" and "Fold-in Position". When somebody accidentally knock your mirror, the clutch lock will disengage the mirror to prevent it from damage. When you press the fold in button, the mirror will unfold and turn until it auto lock back to it original position.</blockquote>
