Is there any way to set how far down they go when I put the vehicle in reverse? My left mirror angles down too far and I can't use it to back my car up. When I got my car serviced at Lexus of austin I asked my advisor he said it wasn't possible. i thought i saw a thread a while back about how to do this but I couldn't find it. I drive an 07

Good question. I have a similar problem, that the right mirror goes further than the left one. I need the left mirror to match the right mirror.

I think the way to stop it is outlined in the owners manual. I stopped mine from doing it when I bought the 2011.

I stopped mine from moving down too.
Just leave the switch in the middle and not on left or right.If I want to use the feature,I just move the switch on left or right.
I've read a plastic gear wears causing issues..

yeah I knew how to stop it I was just wondering if there was a way to set on where to have it angle. Thanks for the info on the plastic gears causing wearing I'm not going to use that feature anymore unless i'm paralell parking I guess.

There isn't an adjustment for the angle of the tilt. Just the on or off.

I agree, they are not adjustable. I did have a problem where one of the mirrors stopped tilted down as far as they originally did. I had the mirror replaced under warranty.

That feature annoys me to no end. My wife, on the other hand, likes it.

I use it to see how close to the curb I am as for backing up I rely on the rear camera system.
