mine where like that mate!!!
once they where fitted they were perfect....
the motor is probably not in the fully open or closed position
just power it up to fully open and then reverse the polarity to close the mirror..

Hi Dave

I found this guide a while back, I hope it opens ok if not copy and paste instead
How To: Complete Guide to Install JDM Power Folding Mirrors w/ Pics - IWSTI.com: Subaru WRX STI Forums

Mikey, we'll do as you suggest at the weekend and fit them properly and hope the switch works.. I'll let you know
Thanks Julie.

Probably the same seller, he did have two pairs for sale both inc of the switches for sale ? I don't know of anyone with a switch..I would of had a spare myself but I'm hoping he comes back to us with the added aggro of having to go through Paypal disputes. If I hear of one I'll let you know though..
