They probably dont because if they are anything like the mk5's mirrors there isnt any point in folding them in. Waste of money if all you gain is 2inches.. pointless feature imo :undecided:

In that case, you haven't seen my garage door....

Even though the space doesn't amount to much, doesn't it make the mirrors less likely to be snagged by someone passing, because the rounded back is facing out?

I've had my mirror's whacked off 3 times in my lifetime, not cheap to repair either. If that extra 2" prevents this, then its all good imo.

Spoke to a non local dealer today about the mirrors/alarm chirp, guy I spoke to seemed to know what I was on about unlike my local dealer, he said he would see if he could get a technician to interrogate one of the MK6's they have lying about to see what can and what can't be changed via the cars computer.  He also admitted there were loads of undocumented features available on most of the VW range.

I would just try them before its something you spec... If they are similar to the MK5 then I would say even 2" is being slightly generous.
