Found something new

Stocklook · November 21, 2004

Hey just found out that my mirrors power fold in and out, "This is Very cool"

You just put the switch in the middle and push the adjust button right to fold in and left to put them back out.

not that I will ever use it, but its cool to know it does it. And I also found out that if I use my wife's remote #2 it will remember the mirror settings and adjust to her settings.

learn something new everyday. I'm a Dork, so what, "this is cool"

That's pretty cool man, I was actually thinking about adapting power fold in mirrors to my truck. I have to put the driver's window down and fold 1 mirror in to fit into my garage (It's a rented garage, I live in an apartment). Unfortunately, I have way too many other projects and mods that I want to do to the truck first. By the time I get to it, they'll probably offer it as an aftermarket kit!

By the way, what year and model do you have?

I have a 04 Silverado LS ECSB

Yep - have it on my wifes 04 Z71 Tahoe - makes it really easy to pull in and out of the garage everyday.

She also folds them in whenever she parks in a parking lot. - To avoid the morons from bumping into them.

They are also nice when pulling up to a teller machine or drive up window.

Want to freak out a passenger some night?

Discretely fold them in....then trun on the right turn signal

Did it to myself one night. Forgot they were turned in .....dark and lonlely hiway.

Went to pass and turned on the left turn signal.

d**n near had to give myself CPR.!!!!!!

THought a SP had pulled up beside me and turned on the red lights.

You will find that useful if you have to park on narrow streets sometimes. Folding them in reduces the odds of someone hitting them with their mirrors as they drive by.

Mine never worked right. The folding part does but there's some conflict with the tilt-down when I back up, then go forward. No matter when I fold them out, the tilt on the dr. side just won't return correctly.

Of course, "it's normal" is all I get. If it's normal, howcome it works on on my friend's Tahoe!

Sperry, the next time you "unfold" them adjust them to the correct position and then hit the memory button on the drivers door until you hear the "beep"

This process fixed mine after I tried to adjust "curb view"

The owners man, said if you fold them in and out three times it will reset the memory, I don't have a button on mine.

I tried the fold in at night and put on the turn signal, WOW it is bright I'm sure it would scare someone.

I have this feature on my 03 tahoe LT. Pretty nifty. I use this when I park tight in-between two cars so when people try to walk in-between the two cars they don't run into my mirrors.
