raven_blade2006 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Im thinking about buying one but I need to know something first. Is it possible to fold the door mirrors on it? Ive had mirrors knocked off my current car before and it would be nice if this could be avoided. Not the exclusive spec model by the way, which I know can already do it electrically. I want to know if the LX, SX, etc can do it manually, perhaps? Quote

You do have to apply a bit of pressure a said below. Quote

wozza Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 They do fold in on all the cars you just have to be fairly tough with pushing them in as in feels like they are about to break but will then go in. However they do not go in very much. Quote

raven_blade2006 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Just to confirm what wozza said! Thank you two very much. You have just made my day. As long as it helps to minimise the risk of them being damaged it will be fine with me. Quote
BigJohnD Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 The Exclusive model has the electrically folding mirrors. I don't think they can be fitted to other models. Quote
Z3M Roadster Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 The mirrors fold closer to the car if you push them the wrong way with the glass facing outwards. Quote
wozza Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 The mirrors fold closer to the car if you push them the wrong way with the glass facing outwards. Never knew that. Quote

Z3M Roadster Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 No need to try it, I am telling you it works as the mirrors fold both ways. Quote
xavtia Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 definately worth knowing as its about £170 to replace the full unit, mine wasnt knocked off though it was on the footpath and disappeared overnight Quote
