Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Can't Fold Side Mirrors
May 4, 2010
I have not found a way to fold them. But if not, is it likely to be damaged during automatic car wash?

View 5 RepliesI have a 2008 model LX-570. . . The side mirrors started to show issues. . . The left side: now completely does not fold. While the right side hesitates to fold and does not fold as smooth as before.
Is there any way to rectify this rather than going for two new pieces.
I have a 2010 f-250 lariat with a drivers side power fold mirror that does not fold. The part number is 1448007. Do they interchange? My mirror is a Power Fold, heated, extending type.
View 1 RepliesInstalled power fold in mirrors on a 2012 FX4? My truck does have power mirrors but not the fold in option.
View 14 RepliesI just saw a video of an IS350 and the mirrors folded in when it was parked and locked. The model was a hybrid, so I am not sure if that is a different option. I am looking at the IS 350 F Sport awd. Just curious what extras it will or could have.
View 5 Replies08 F-350 Lariat. Folded mirrors in twice today. Second time they would not come back out. After four hours the fold function has not returned. As I read Owner's Manual, if it's a fuse it should take out power to driver's seat . . . correct? All other mirror functions including telescope seem to work normally. So if I've identified the fuse correctly what else could it be? Fold relay? Switch? Where is the fold relay located and how can one test it? What pins on the switch are the fold pins? I just looked at power distribution box schematic. Power fold mirror relay fuse is there. Apparently the only function it has. Better go check it out.

Last weekend, I found it very difficult to see my JetSki trailer while backing down the boat ramp.
And no, the monitor does not work in this situation.
All of a sudden the Side View mirrors on my prius aren't working. Which fuse controls the Side View mirrors?
View 6 RepliesWhen I shift to reverse, the side mirrors angle downwards automatically. The driver's side one squeaks when it does this. Any tip to remove the squeak.
I recently upgraded my puddle lamps to blue LEDs to match my interior lights and took the opportunity to spray a little bit of WD40 on the mechanism. I didn't use much, since the mirrors are basically friction fit I didn't think it wise to spray all over, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
The mirror still seems to move freely enough and nothing obvious is rubbing.
I have a 2013 RX. This problem just started today. Have I accidentally changed some setting or do I need to take the car to the dealer for repair?
View 5 RepliesMy 2010 Prius mirrors are at slightly different angles to the car body when fully unfolded. Driver side is about 10 degrees further away than passenger mirror. I saw another Prius with same thing. Is this normal and do others have same thing?
View 10 RepliesI have a 2010 Prius III and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the side mirrors defrosted when the rear defroster was turned on. I looked in the owners manual and it said if equipped. Which Prius models do not have these defrosters, the package II? My mirrors do not have the little defroster icon, but I'm almost positive it must have them.
View 6 RepliesFor those of you with power folding mirrors on their Golf VIs: Do you ever experience unfolding lag? Mine sometimes take up to 2 mins to unfold after moving the rotary switch, while other times they unfold instantly.
View 19 RepliesOver the past 6 months my side view mirrors have been getting finicky about tilting down. In other directions they move fine (left, right, up).
I just tried replacing the mirror switch, and it didn't fix anything; the exact same symptoms are there. Here's what I observe
* Neither the driver nor passenger side mirrors will aim down
* Left/Right/Up all work fine
* Occasionally (but rarely), they will suddenly work.
* Replacing the switch fixed nothing
* I also checked the wiring from the door to the switch and there were no visible cracks or damage, and the pins were well seated in the plug.
* Holding the mirror control in 'down' and wiggling the wiring makes no difference.
* I have a 2 door '13 Golf R (posting in GTI forum because it's more active).
* I have heated mirrors, but no folding or auto-dip.
I saw a number of posts on mods, and a couple on switch issues but in all of those installing a new switch seemed to do the trick.
I've seen a couple of threads on this and it all seems to easy with little explanation. Any issues with breaking the tabs or mirrors themselves? Is there any trick to popping out the side mirrors with ease? I'm going to install blue heated blind spot mirrors tonight and wanted to hear a little feedback.
View 14 RepliesLooking for directions to remove mirror housing. I'm switching to the brushed aluminum look.
And while i was at it i wanted to switch out the side view mirrors for the blue tinted mirrors.
I have the LX570 2010. the left mirror doesn't fold any more. I took it to dealership and he suggested expensive fix for such a small motor rotating the mirror? Can I order the part from somewhere else?
View 1 RepliesThe rear seat on the passenger side wont fold down... I don't feel the mechanism release when I pull the lever... I have my trunk sealed off because I have two 15z so I cant get to it via the trunk...
View 3 RepliesI have a 2000 V6 Passat and last week, when I tried to open the side mirrors from their fold flat position, they would not open. It was cold out (about 20 degrees) and I thought the mirrors might be frozen so I turned on the heated mirrors. They frost was removed from the mirrors, but they still would not open and I manually pushed the mirrors back into their normal location. I can adjust both the driver and passenger mirrors from the inside control knob. I have checked the mirror fuse and its ok. Is there a relay or other fuse that would control the fold flat motor?
View 1 RepliesMy driver side does not fold in anymore. I can hear the motor but it doesn't fold.
View 2 RepliesMy 2008 F250's passenger side mirror will not fold/unfold with the switch. Also the motor continues to run when the switch is moved to fold/unfold the mirrors.
