Reverse Tilt Mirrors


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 14' CC Silverado LTZ that has the power folding mirrors. I have the curbview turned on for both mirrors. The driver side mirror tilts too far down. Is there a way to adjust it so it only tilts 1/2 the way?

Thanks in advance.

Put the truck in reverse. When they have titled all the way adjust while still in reverse where you need it.

I gave it multiple tries. It still tips down too far. If I adjust them while in Reverse they wont come back up until I hit the recall on the door. Any other ideas?

IIRC, we had a thread about this before.

 

I don't think there was a solution.

 

What I don't recall is whether they tilt down to a specific location, or whether they tilt a certain number of degrees from the normal position.

If it's degrees down from normal, then raising the up/normal position would also raise the down/lowered position.

 

I turned off the drivers side reverse tilt on mine.

You can't adjust the tilt of the mirrors on a 2014; specifically states in the OM that the mirror tilts down to a predetermined position. I find mine don't tilt down far enough. Maybe attach one of those small blind spot mirrors on your passenger side to give you the view you want?

I had the drivers side off because i could not figure out how to adjust it up. Trying it again.

 

Passenger side is fine. My issue is with the drivers side.

I turned mine off, seemed cool at first but when I back up up a trailer i have to turn them off.

I agree that when backing my trailer its not so good. Unfortunately i only back the trailer a few times a month. The rest of the month it would be nice.

I was able to adjust mine while in reverse in my '15 Sierra and then stored my driver's settings and has always gone back to that position since

The same for me I adjusted in reverse and it saved the new position

Can the users who were able to adjust was the rest of us through the proceedure? I've tried multiple things and nothing seems to keep the setting I want.

I cant tell you how to set them for when you reverse, but I can share a little trick that I use that has worked like a charm. I found that half the time I actually didn't want the mirrors to tilt like backing out of my driveway and only wanted them to tilt when backing into a parking spot or tight space. That's why I thought of the trick below.

 

After getting in the truck, I set the mirrors to where I would like them to be for backing up. I then set the seat/mirror memory button for the getting out of the truck/3rd memory seat location. For me, in a crew cab, I have no reason to use this feature so it is just an extra seat memory location that I don't use. Now when I reverse I can just hold down that 3rd memory location and the mirrors will tilt down to assist with parking. Since I set it without moving the seat, only the mirrors move. Keep in mind if the truck is in drive or reverse you need to hold down the button in order to get the mirrors to move.

 

Hope that helps!

Well that's one way.

 

I'm just frustrated because I'm pretty sure I set them the first day I had the truck and now I cannot figure out how to reset them. As mentioned above, it sucks for backing up a trailer. I guess I'll just have to turn it off when towing.

3rd memory position, my 214 only has 2 positions to store seating/mirror changes.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
