Folding mirrors

[Deano]

Hey gents, my passenger side mirror seems to be facing more inwards compared to my drivers side mirror. Anyone else have this issue?

Yep mine too,looks like that is common, regards Phil.

Sorry I didn't word my post properly, my issue is when both mirrors are fully folded outward, the passanger side mirror is at a different angle, as if it hasn't fully extended back into position.

My passenger side mirror is all but useless, but it folds fine

Have a good look at the mirror supports you will see the passenger side one sweeps back more than the drivers side one, this is to get the mirror at the right angle so you are not looking at the foot path. If they didn't do this you would need two different shaped housings that would look funny, or the mirror would need to be at a huge angle inside the housing that would also look weird. Falcon is the same and I think it is common on most cars.

Ah ok well that makes sense. Thanks.
