thoughts on installing folding sideview mirrors
I may have the chance to install the folding sideview mirrors, and was hoping anyone who has them can share their experience with them, trouble free?
I had them in my last car, and I have them on my Volvo, and got used to them.. the tight space in the garage also makes it a plus.. I wonder if it's worth the 750 or so?
thanks for any input.

I personally find them useless but then again my garage is so damn large you could add about 4 more 750li's in there and there would still be plenty of space. But for those who have tight garages it might be worth it.

I would call them very reliable. It's a great way to check if my car is locked by looking at it from far away. If the car is locked, the mirrors are folded.

$750 + $100 install with Steve.. or $750 + install rate of your dealer.
You keep your own mirror, it's all in the mount, and an internal switch.

I have them and I have no regrets. Mine's set so that the side mirrors fold it when I lock the car. When I unlock it and open one of the front doors the mirror unfolds. Occasionally the driver side doesn't unfold but I just have to press the fold/unfold button (located next to seat memory buttons) to fix it.
