Default Side mirror detent adjust?

My 08 has the "detent" where the passenger side mirror snaps to in the wrong spot. If I leave it in the detent spot, I can't angle the mirror in enough to be useful. I have to move the entire housing out of the detent to get the mirror where I need it. When I hit a big bump, it will snap back to the detent. Anyone know if the mirror housing can be disassembled and this detent adjusted or re-centered?

Not sure. Does it have electric folding mirrors?

Yes it does. Everything works. The detent click is not at the natural spot where the plastic shrouds line up.
