Reversing - Wing Mirrors Point Downwards - How Do I Do This?

Sorry Jimbo and Harty, but we all have GiT's where some options are provided compared to other Golf models. I simply scanned VW for the Golf Match model and noticed that this option is available via the Lux Pack

Just to add, the dealer didn't have to flick a switch when he put it into reverse as you can leave the dial on "L" and it automatically dips when you put it into reverse. But like others have said, it is only the passenger side this happens with and it is a great feature to have except when you are parking on the opposite site of the road

My R has front and rear sensors (no lux pack) and the passenger mirror dips when reversing. 

I wonder if that means I have the better door controllers which would support folding mirrors - anyone know?  Thanks.

Same as my GTi, and several others who have posted.

Finally got the mirror to work today chaps. Put it into left hand position on mirror knob &  the passenger mirror dipped as you all said it would but not drivers too for some reason??

I'm pretty certain it's only the near side mirror that dips - I think it's described by VW in their
Iiterature as 'dipping kerbside mirror'.

I've got both the luxury pack and front/rear parking sensors and only the near side mirror dips; that's the important one, so you can see how close to the kerb you are when parking up, and hopefully avoid scraping your wheels.

Because they don't dip both sides, only passenger side.

The drivers mirror never dipped?  That's p*ss poor if you ask me. Ignore the countless and obviously clueless folk that have told you it is only the passenger side mirror that dips, the one with the "L" on the knob and go back to your dealer. As he obviously knows what he's doing.
