Maybe like amw1 said it was happening in my case...
Anyway I'll give it a month ...if not..... then I will stop using this feature  :sad:
I wonder if I can flip them back by hand (more than once  :laugh:) in a worse case scenario.... :huh:

Is it not strange, Erik, we always end up with the word flip or flipper! :laugh:

Not at all! It is the best word to describe the action of the door mirrors and flaps to describe those mud preventing jobs!

Flip, flap all the way! :laugh:

Thanks for that.  I'm waiting until I go to the dealer to get my niggles fixed - and when they take the door apart to fix the creaking, I'll ask if they can remove the mirror switch for me.  I'm hoping a simple circuit will do it... but if it is simple, then how come I can't find a single person whose done it already  :undecided:
