Title: mirror down func..
Post by: pitch3110 on March 25, 2009, 08:07:07 pm

chaps,

Had the car in reverse on Saturday, hit the switchy thing to fold my mirrors in, didn't click it far enough & the passenger side mirror dipped down.

Whats all that about?????

I find something new out in this car every time I get in it (which isn't often 'cause she hides her keys)

Haha sorry i kind of stated the obvious there!!

Yeah as soon as you select reverse, it should dip the mirror - provided the switch is positioned for the passenger side mirror.

I dont know how you did this (mirror turning down so you can see the curb)

i have electric folding wing mirrors but they only fold in or you can adjust them as normal

am i missing something?
