My mirror is stuck up. Can I fix that?

While I've been able to fix that problem in the field many times, it's not something I recommend consumers trying. The mirror is fragile and easily damaged. Better to have someone who knows what they're doing look at it.

But yes, if you’re gentle you can move the mirror back down to the viewing position. Whether that will fix your problem depends upon what caused the mirror to stick up in the first place.
