    question about mirror?

    do both of your mirrors go downward when you put into reverse gear?
    when I turn the mirror knob to the passenger side, put into reverse, the passenger side mirror does go downward; however it doesn't do the same for the driver side if i turn the knob to the left...

    Re: question about mirror?

    It just goes down on the passenger side so that way you can easily see the curb while you are parking. There is just not a need for the driver side to go down as well. But while we're talking about going down, I met this hot ass girl last night... well I'll tell you later.

    Passanger side goes down so you don't scratch the shit out of your rims parallel parking. When switched to the driverside it does nothing.

    same reason you'd need the right one to dip (parking lots, garages etc)

    it's for curb management but there are curbs on both sides sometimes

    there are cement poles, snowblowers, kids bikes etc. on either side other times.

    Don't forget parallel parking on the left side of a one-way street.

    Re: question about mirror?

    hmm wonder if mine does that have to see. I wouldnt see y not they already have power fold. but I dont like that they move down. then u can see when you back up. i can judge where my car is in relation to the curb mentally. I hate when i get into cars at work when they do that then you can see squat behind you.

    Just leave the feature off. When you need to look down, turn it on.
