Folding mirrors - disagreeing with the missus
Discussion
After all these years, I usually resign myself to never winning an argument with her at home. But there is one that I'm not totally convinced about. The passenger side mirror on my...sorry, our V8V doesn't unfold with the driver's side mirror when I unlock the car. If I lock the car then unlock it again, they both unfold simultaneously as I think they should.
Now, I'm convinced this isn't meant to happen. But the better half insists it is and that the mirror unfolds when you start the car and start driving.
Does anyone on here have the guts to correct my missus? Or do I just assume the position and put up and shut up?

My experience, is that it is when the ignition is turned on, that both external door mirrors move open at the same time, to their driving position.
When pressing the key fob to lock the car, both the door mirrors then fold to their closed position.
I recall there might be some alternatives to the above sequences, but how the other choices are made I don't know. It would need a look in the handbook.

Your lady is correct, obviously. (sarcasm, for the sake of not upsetting your wife)
However, the mirrors could also move together should you decide to have the parts changed in such a manner to be more consistent with the original design of the car. (they're supposed to fold at the same time)

FWIW every now and then my passenger side mirror (07 MY V8V) stays put when the drivers one folds in.... I think of it as a bit of character 
also, the small drop in the window drivers side sometimes doesn't go back up when I close the door... but only if I'm outside the car.... it won't then lock either... I have to open and close the door until the window self closes before it wil lock.... strange... but not as strange as my ex wife.... no really..... or her family for that matter... took strange to a whole new level.....
