Washing my 1997 E320 yesterday and the mirror lost it's springyosity. It just flops back and forth. Looking inside I found a spring about 2" long that should be attached to something but isn't. Is there a trick or method to disassemble and reattach. I didn't see this in the common problems list
Thanks

Most likely that spring either simply fell off its mounting point OR the mounting point itself broke.
There have been quite a few discussions on some homemade solutions to the problem, as a lot of folks (myself included) refuse to pay the $200+ for a replacement mirror housing. If you do a search here or at the MBworld forum, you'll probably find them, as well as a video on how to take the cover off to get to the innards.
