    I remember but now the baker wing won't stay in the open position. Every time you open it it closes as soon as force is applied. The last x-country I did in 2015 one of those birds hit me in the chest while going back and forth. It was like getting hit with a punch in the chest.

    Ya gotta tighten the bottom jam nut a little more to keep the Baker wing in position. Not too much and not too little.

    Yes sir. I carry 2 small wrenches in my cubby, just for that purpose. Only takes a second to re adjust.

    I did that but it still closed the port side one is fine. What I did notice is the wing itself is not square against the holding screw, it is angled so my guess is the collision with the bird either bent the unit itself or the mirror housing, from the larger crack that was created, make a difference in airflow direction as to shut the wing
