Mirror down on reverse

[DV52]

DV52, mine adjusts if I move it in the expected + positions. Maybe have the service centre check it out.

Nauend, I adjust my mirrors a fair bit, usually dipping them when reversing but that is because I have both mirrors synchronised and I don't want to kerb my rims.

Mine moves the mirror following a "+" format, so moves left or right or up or down, which seems fine. No smooth joystick (any direction) motion.

Thanks for the replies. I will have the service guys have a look at the adjustment knob (although on closer investigation, you could both be right that the apex positions are more like a "+" than an "x")

Veew: Appropos of your response to Nauend, why don't you use the auto tilt function on the LH mirror when reversing (to avoid kerbing the rims)?

I live on a one way street, sometimes parking on the street in front of my place means the right rims are at risk of being kerbed. I have already set up the auto-tilt for the usual parallel parking situations.

Hi veew, I do switch between auto tilt and no auto tilt regularly, but generally don't adjust the position of the mirrors otherwise. But I can see you situation is very different.

My previous car had multiple mirror (and seat) position memory which is a feature I miss, especially after my daughter has been using the car, and could help with your situation too! I wonder if any VW's have a feature like that.
