[urq] Driver side mirror

[Brandon Rogers]

I have never taken one apart - but have talked with thos etht have. 
Apparently there is a aluminum tab or something in there that some big 
rubber bands go around and pull the housing back when bent back.  This alum 
part gradually bends.  Some have bent it back carefully.  My lazy man's 
approach was to get some big black o-rings, cut to length, and shove them in 
the front upper and lower corners - in essence filling the void eliminating 
the movement.
