Question Backup mirror annoyance…
This seems like a curious software or other QC problem on an otherwise flawless car…

For some still undermined reason, when I put it into reverse, the passenger side mirror sometimes does, and sometimes does-not, tilt to aide the rearward view of the curb while backing up. Anybody else had experience this? Any solutions?

I believe if you have the power mirror control switch set to the passenger mirror it turns it off, but if it's set to the driver's mirror, the reverse tilting will work.
Or it might be the opposite. Try it out both ways and see what happens.

i believe when switch is to driver side, the mirror lowers in reverse. try keeping it switched on pass side.

The mirror adjustment must be switched to the passenger side.

Thumbs up
Setting the control to the passanger side seems to do the trick.

Thanks to all for the help!
