not sure on a saxo as never looked behind mine. but on my old car the leaver you move goes in to a ball joint which clips it to the glass outside and it had just popped out... sorry if no help at all...

Take your door card off by removing the torx screw inside the ash tray part (T20) then remove the other torx screw under the mirror (usually hidden behind the dash when doors closed. Pry off by gently pulling upwards ensuring no clips snap, (may be an idea to run your fingers between the door card and door to remove clips or at least loosen them).

You should now see the plastic wing mirror cover, If i remember correctly it just comes away, yet behind this there will be some more torx screws to remove the base plate of the mirror; again T20.

Pull mirror off Twiddle the stalk a bit see if there is any movement at all, try to get behind the glass and see where it has came loose the problem should be clear from there. Check all cables and ensure they havent snapped or have any terrible kinks if so, you could be looking at a new mirror (£15-£20)

Hope this helps at all. :y:
