Adjusting the Mirrors

I have a problem, each time my 96 Miata is washed, the mirrors need to be
adjusted.  This means I must roll down the windows and play around with it
for 5 minutes.  Is there any type of power or manual adjustment  lever
which I can purchase?  How much would this cost, and where would I buy it?

    By telling us that your mirrors are getting wacked during a wash cycle,
    it implys that you’re going through an automatic wash.  DON’T!!!!

    Anything that touchs the top in a wash cycle is bad for it.  Since you live
    in Florida, wash your car yourself with a lot of soap, sponge, and your arm
    muscles.

    Hey fun guy, I HAND wash my Miata, and I accidentaly hit the mirrors.
    Plus, since I live in an apartment complex (which I HATE), invariably
    someone will hit one of my mirrors out of adjustment.  Happens more
    often than not.

    Again, is there some way to prevent the accidental "adjustment" of
    mirrors, short of buying a power mirror retrograde kit?

    If your constantly getting your mirrors "adjusted" by considerate parking
    lot neighbors you might be best off leaving them as they are.  If they are
    modified to stay "fixed" they’ll have no give the next time they get
    "adjusted" and might break.
