Just seeing if there might be a DYI fix for a problem - my driver's mirror
keeps drifting and I have to keep hitting the memory button to bring it
back into place. Is there something I can tighten, and if so, how can I
access it? Or is it off to the shop? Thanks.

Try to clean the control lever.
Good luck!

I have never worked on your model so I cannot be much help. But, on mine, I
had to remove the shifter panel to get to it. My kids spilled soda one too
many times. I should have tried one of those auto electrical contact
cleaner spay. I hope someone more knowledgeable on your model can help you
out here.

Good luck.
