I think I had the same problem with my hight adjustment. Does the lever just wobble from side to side? Mine did. You should have a loose pin in your car somewhere or it might still be in place, but no ... |

I had the same, but on the driver side. I dried it with a pillowcase filled with cat litter. I also put a dehumidifier in the car for 24 hours. Worked a treat.
