Got home a short while ago.

Parked on the drive, engine off, door open.

BOTH door mirrors started moving in unison, going through the full range of movement (just the glass bits obviously) like someone was rolling their finger around the adjustment "switch".

BOTH stopped at the same time, in their original positions.

BLY WEIRD !

And before anyone asks - I haven't had a drop to drink!

Not surprised with a number plate like that!

On reflection, you may have a wiring short in the door somewhere?

If mine gets left out in heavy rain somewhere then my wing mirrors do this a couple of days later. I just disconnect them at the control box (behind the steering wheel), wait a couple of days for the car to dry out completely and then reconnect. Not very scientific, and not exactly a fix, but it's better than having nutty wing mirrors whilst I am trying to overtake

Car was called Damien - perhaps I should rename it "The Exorcist"

I'll get Peninsula to take a look, it's going in this week anyway.

Either that, or find a catholic priest!

Seriously though - my electric mirror switch is a but screwed up anyway, I need to hold down the "left" or "right" whilst pressing the "direction" control. Probably all related.

Don't panic. Mine does that too!

If I stall my Chim both mirrors adjust down the way simultaniously and reset themselves back when I fire her back up!
