mirror diming?

Hi guys,

Driving back home tonight, I noticed the passenger side view mirror doesn't dim when the rear view and driver side mirror dim. Should all three dim?

Thanks

I'm not sure about your car, but on my 2001 CLK55, all three mirrors dim.

What difference does it make what those CLKs you list do? Mine does...

Maybe it only has that feature if you have folding mirrors? Do they have electric folding mirrors?

"not possible" ... hahaha. That's a pretty strong statement for someone who's never seen my car.

...I have seen Scorchie's CLK...and it does have THREE auto dimming mirrors...maybe his third dimming glass came with the power folding mirror feature...my C250D with three auto dimming mirrors has the power folding feature as well...

Regardless of anything, you said it wasn't possible on my car... which is definitely wrong.
