Side Rearview Mirrors Not Keeping There Preset Memory
So this has been becoming more and more annoying. Not only is it a distraction but I'm finding the mirrors out of there alignment while I'm already under way and driving along, (seriously unsafe). Not by like a lot but enough to notice that I'm looking at the big blue sky and part of the car behind me.
The back story is that my wife and I share this car and we both have our preset settings 1. for me 2. for her. Every time we switch presets gets out of whack. Anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks,
L

When you do a battery change and you don't plug in anything into the cigarette lighter you lose all presets and auto close window functions, Yes I get that. When I did the battery swap I reprogramed the settings into the seat and mirrors that I wanted and I cycled all the windows including sunroof, so that they operate be one touch again. That's all I did. I don't how you would reset the mirrors or the cargo door? The cargo door operates fine, it opens and closes with the remote button and by open/close button on the backdoor itself. How do I go about resetting the side mirrors?

The side mirrors are set to their current position with the seat one touch driver buttons on the door (1,2,set). It sounds like you have done that, hopefully with the mirrors in the driving position when you pushed set.

Just a thought... I noticed that when I fold in a mirror (parking on a narrow street) and then unfold it, it is out of alignment. I have to select the other memory setting and then mine to get the mirror back in alignment. Any chance you are regularly folding the mirrors?

So the fix is to keep pushing the preset button(1). So originally I'd push it once and all the other setting's would start and finish, (seat, steering wheel and right side mirror). But for some reason the left rear view mirror needs a little help. I need to keep pushing the button a couple times until finally it was at the correct presetting.

I have the same issue with my 2009 RX350. I preset my mirror/seats and in a few days the mirror tilts (small increments) by itself where it becomes noticeable and I will have to adjust it manually.
Does anyone have a fix or solution? It is really annoying to keep adjusting it every couple of days.
Thanks

I've had this happen on the driver's side mirror...it also routinely won't tilt down when put in Reverse like it should...the passenger side functions fine. I'm thinking it can't be the motor if it works 100% fine when manually adjusting with the directional switch?

No help here. But I've noticed that the driver's side rear view mirror get out of adjustment after backing up. The mirror doesn't point down as it should, but then when shifting into drive, the mirror rotates slightly upward and out of alignment.
It is as if the plastic gear in the mirror is stripped.

I checked the screws under the mirror and it looks like everything is tighten properly.
If anyone has a solution, please share.
