996 turbo passenger mirror not fully dipping in reverse
Discussion
For the last month, my passenger mirror is not tilting down properly when I use reverse. It does move - just a few millimetres - then stops as if it's finished.
It's not the motor - I can then manually adjust it down with no problem. I've tried saving the seat / mirror position again (with car in reverse) but that also doesn't seem to help.
I did notice that when it returned to normal position last night, it looked like it "hesitated" slightly when it got to the position it's been stopping at. But I repeated this 5 or 6 more times and it wasn't noticeable the other times.
How does the mirror know it's reached the tilt point? It seems to be behaving as if it thinks it's tilted enough.

o help OP, but in 50k in my TT I've not noticed this feature. Is it "on" by default?!
No.You have to put the car into reverse before setting the seat memory - then it will dip in future when you put it into reverse.
To earlier comments - I am pretty sure you cannot set how much it dips in 996 models. It has been working fine for 4 years - which has involved several "settings" due to altering seat position - so I'm quite sure it's not user error. Particularly since it was working and suddenly started showing this problem.
