Side view mirror moving by itself
 
For the last few days, I noticed while driving that every once in a while, my driver's side mirror moves on its own by just a couple degrees, and then moves back. To be clear, I mean the mirror itself and not the entire housing. It's kinda funny to see it when it happens.

I checked the mirror with my finger to see if it was broken or coming loose, and it's not. It's firm as normal.

The switch on the door is set to adjust the right mirror, so it's probably not that either.

Forgive me if there's already threads about this. I didn't find any via search.

Holy crap your car is trying to tell you something.

In reality there is probably something wonky with the switch wiring even though set to the right. Never seen this issue before.

Set the switch back to the middle and see if it keeps doing it?

Still happening even with turning the knob. Oh well, I almost like it.

You have a new mod!
Disco mirrors are going to be all the fad now.

Maybe some winter moisture in the switch/wiring.
