Adjusting rear view mirror? When I adjust my seat to the right position, then my rear view mirror shows me my rear deck where sub woofer located. I adjust the seat down and forward a bit and I can see about 70% of the rear glass. I have already raised my rear view mirror all the up.
View 11 RepliesI went to get my front window tinted and the place didn't have the "tool" to remove the rear view mirror and they did not want to get very aggressive with the mallet in fear of breaking the windshield. Has anyone bene able to get any of the "home methods" to work? I contacted a couple of local auto window repair places and they said they wouldn't do it because the windshield "ALWAYS" breaks.
View 7 RepliesFirstly, when i put my car in reverse, my passenger side view mirror does not automatically tilt. is there some sort of setting i must go to?
Secondly, I was wondering if it was possible to AUTOMATICALLY fold the side view mirror when i off the engine, or lock the doors, and for them to automatically unfold when i start the engine or unlock the doors! Instead of manually turning the knob.
I went into the Menu, and there was an option under "locks .... ---> mirrors", and i selected sync. Does that have anything to do with my question?
Thirdly, The rain sensing wipers. I have to activate this by pulling the lever up ONE STEP to the intermittent mode right. I tested the rain sensing wipers with a bottle of water! and the sensor is at the rear view mirror. The question is that when i off the engine and leave the rain wipers under Mode ONE (one step up the lever from off) the car doesn't automatically activate the wipers if it rains. I have to push it down to off! then back to INTERMITTENT MODE! Is this normal?
I have a base model V6 Touareg. The passenger side view mirror doesn't tilt down in reverse (even with the mirror switch in the R position). Is there a VAG-COM setting to enable this feature?
View 1 RepliesWhen I'm in reverse and trying to back out of a narrow space, I need to see what's behind me.. not what's on the ground underneath my side mirrors. How do I turn OFF this highly annoying function? I've searched all through the manual and can't seem to locate it..

View 12 RepliesI'm not sure if this is a problem others have experienced here but for the last few months my rear view mirror angle would drop down and every morning when i got in the car i would need to readjust. I then thought that like every other moving part of the P that needs adapting that maybe the same applies to the mirror so i moved it to it's highest then lowest points, moved the seat all the way back, got out, locked the car, unlocked it, the seat and mirror had returned to the position stored in the memory and for the last month the mirror has not moved so I'm thinking that this has solved the problem.
View 1 RepliesMy rear view mirror looks to be dying. Yesterday morning it started with what looked like a hairline crack through the middle of the glass. Several hours later it appeared to be de-laminating itself. It looks like water is stuck between 2 layers of glass. Obviously not happy with this as TOD is just around the corner and don't want to be traveling over 1200 miles with limited rear view visibility. [URL]..........
View 7 RepliesI constantly need to adjust my rearview miror every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. It seems to droop down a little bit at a time during that time period. I ran a forum search on this topic but no matches found.
View 7 RepliesA week or so ago there was a topic about the rear view mirror dimming. I replied that mine worked on the inside but not the outside mirrors. I just re-read two or three different brochures and found that the outside mirrors do just about everything except dim! Go figure.
View 1 RepliesI bought a used 2010 model and here's a pic of my rearview mirror. Please note the base of the mirror assembly and the location where it's attached to the windshield. Seems kinda low to me. Can other 2010 owners chime in if your mirror is attached at the same spot (or not)?
View 5 RepliesI need to remove the passenger side rear view mirror. To do so, according to the workshop manual, I will have to remove the interior door panel first. Is that right or are there any shortcuts?
View 2 RepliesGetting the metal mirror base off the rest of the assembly? My mirror fell off the windshield, probably due to a poor glue job a few years ago when the windsheild was replaced. Now for the life of me, I can't get the black metal base off the rest of the mirror to glue it back on. It looks like there are a couple of small holes for a pin spanner, but I've tried that and nothing budges.
View 6 RepliesThere is a small crescent shape of clear mirror on the top middle of my mirror. I think the dimming "juice" has been compromised. Am I SOL or is there a way to fix it? What vehicles are interchangeable and is there a mirror that's better that I could swap in?
View 10 RepliesFound little black box behind the rear view mirror. First I thought it's rain sensor for wiper, but my car doesn't equipped with rain sensing wiper, so what it is?
View 14 RepliesMy inside rear view mirror refracts the light from behind in a vertical rainbow line.
At night when someone is driving behind me, the headlights from the car behind are seen on the inside rear view mirror with two vertical lines that start at the headlight and go one above and one below the headlight.
As the title indicates, the rearview mirror (that mounts on the windshield) on my MKIV Jetta won't stay on. When it falls off, the spring clip remains attached to the mounting base on the windshield. I have tried bending the spring clip outward (works until I hit a bump) and epoxying the spring clip when installing back in the mirror base (worked for a month or two).
I can't tell either from the diagram in the Bentley or from pictures of mirror bases that I found around the internet what precisely is supposed to retain the spring clip in the mirror base. I can get a used mirror base locally, but I'm just not quite sure whether the problem is with the base, the spring clip, or both...
How to remove the rear view mirror? I've tried pulling, turning and twisting without any success. I have become spoiled by the self dimming mirrors in my other rides and want to add one with the Home Link buttons.
View 6 RepliesMy friend bumped my mirror with his head and it's now hanging loose (pictures: Busted Rear View Mirror - Imgur ). It was very cold when this happened, which I assume is why it happened so easily. I have tried a 3M adhesive (in a warmer environment), but the mirror was too heavy and didn't even come close to setting it in place.
So I'm wondering if there is a trick I'm missing. Does the mirror detach somewhere? Is there a specific kind of glue/epoxy I should be using?
Rear-view mirror got knocked loose. How can I fix it? [with pics] : Cartalk
The rear view mirror went dark today and is staying that way. Sideview are OK. Button on bottom of the mirror does nothing. Maybe a fuse? But which one?
View 3 RepliesMy Elantra SE interior mirror has had an annoying problem from new: it rattles. Usually doesn't start until after many minutes of steady driving. Then gets loud enough to be a real distraction, and even to interfere with outside sounds - a safety issue. I've wiggled the mirror to all sorts of positions, but only touching it continuously damps the vibration - not good for a stick-shift.
Since it takes a while to begin rattling, it has never happened during regular service appointments. The mirror is not user-serviceable; a special tool is needed. (My dealer doesn't even have one; they get mirror work done during occasional visits by a specialist.) They wouldn't replace the mirror on my say-so, saying I needed to call Hyundai.
