Shouldn't this tilt more of an agle without me adjusting it everytime I back up?Originally Posted by passnu2
All you do is adjust it when the car is in reverse. It will move to where you want it
It is annoying to do this everytime I park.

I had the same problem, I took my car to the dealer the first time they couldn't find the problem. When I drove home the problem appeared.

They changed both sides with new mirrors (the entire mirror housing). Originally Posted by bokmeipai

I think otherwise, has anyone experience this problem and was is corrected?
After that the mirrors are now working fine. I have just done it last week. Try to be hash on them a little bit or you will let them get away with their flaws.

by any chance u know what page? I look but couldn't find this. Thanks.Originally Posted by EyeKutr
the manual actually describes a way to adjust the amount of tilt in reverse, I ve never tried it but look in there. Otherwise it may be a bad mirror, those gears go out often, but I guess it should not work right in going back to the original spot....I turned mined off so that the gears dont break now that I am out of warranty, that and I installed the mirror covers...

This is actually a known issue with the 3GS and most dealerships should be willing to take care of the problem. When I brought mine in, the srv mgr immediately said it was known and wouldn't be a problem to replace and fix the issue.

jreby95, but the mirror works when I manually adjust it.
I think I got my solution from this forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...n-reverse.html
I'll try it tomorrow.

I had this checked out at dealer 3 times, each time they say it is normal operation. The Service Manager finally relented and ordered a new mirror, they put it on & checked operation. They said it was the same as old mirror so they removed new mirror and put back old one. They said case closed since new miroor operates same as old. I still think it's bull. Maybe I should try another dealership? My dealership where I took car in 3 times has always corrected everything I complained about in past and are very accomodating but have failed to satisfy me this time.Originally Posted by DDGS350

Does anyone have the experience that there side mirrors don't always tilt down when in reverse? I can't figure out why and I had the same problem on my last 300 series car (this one is the 350gs)
Thanks in advance,

make sure on the drop down panel that its selected on either the left or right mirror. if its not selected on a mirror, the mirrors will not tilt.

This happens to me sometime as well......and I am sure that I had selected one side on the drop box.
