| Reversing mirrors, mind of there own |
|
Hi I have the mirrors that dip when im in reverse, however when i put the car in reverse they dip down fine but a few seconds into reversing they come back up on their own and then a second or two later they decide to dip back down again.
Has anyone had this issue or know how to get over it.
Thanks in advance.  I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

It's speed related, if you reverse slowly the stay down. If you go above a set speed (I haven't worked out exactly how fast) they lift up and then if you slow down again they dip again.
I only discovered that a few weeks ago when I had a long straight reverse to do - I don't normally reverse fast enough for them to lift up.
I think it's really useful.

Are they also dependant on steering wheel angle input? Still undecided whether I like them or not.... Sometimes as your reversing and your trying to fit in a gap they move unannounced and I find it most off putting? End up thinking I'm doing something wrong and I'm about to hit something.....
