Passenger side mirror (manual) has been bumped out to the right and wont come back into its proper setting so it can be adjusted. How do I get it back into its setting without replacing it? Ive tried wiggling, pushing, bumping and all other methods I could think of. I see no releases or c"catches" etc to poke a screw driver into.

Hello,

It's likely that the mirror got bumped out of the connection for the pushrod. You will have to pull the mirror out in order to snap it back in place. Unless of course the plastic part tat goes in to the pushrod is broken. In that case you will have to replace the mirror.
To take out the mirror you will have to grab the edges and pull outwards in a firm manner.
