Electric folding mirrors

[Neil gti]

How much more room do folding mirrors give you? On the Mk5 it was only 12mm each side. Hardly worth it IMO.

Also the dipping passenger mirror is a pain in the arse when you're reversing a trailer.

The mirrors only dip when you leave the mirror switch in the L position  if you leave it in the centre or right position it stays where it is,

It's not the room for me it's to stop idiots pulling them off like my old Beemer and RRS, little sh!ts!!

Have to turn the knob to fold em in before you get out I'm afraid

I like the dipping mirrors

I take it the folding mirrors are an optional extra, ive got electric heated mirrors and they tilt when I reverse but didnt know whether they are folding? I dont think they are but who knows? I keep finding new things about the car

Same as mine, but mine don't fold either

Guess you also have front and rear parking sensors?

You can tell if they are folding, it will be on your mirror switch, top right position heated element. Top left folding mirror, bottom right n left mirror adjust,
Will be a folding mirror symbol top left on the toggle if you have them

Yeah, theres another direction on the adjuster switch for the mirrors, next to the heater side!
