Rear View Mirror Question?
After searching the forums and with no luck i decide to post a question?
My passeger side rear view is not aligned correclty. every time i put the car in reverse, instead of it tilting all the way down it only goes alf way down, and when i shift to drive it tils up to look at sky?
Is there a way to reset it? i adjust with controls but when i put into reverse it get unaligned?
I coul take a video to show you what i mean.

When you align it in with the vehicle in park, does it go to the proper place and stay there until you put it in park?
Try sitting in park, move your mirror as far up as it goes and as far down as it goes a few times to see if it has full range of movement or if it has been misaligned. Sometimes it will click loudly and move a bit further up or down than usual which will realign it. Then set it and see if it is fixed when you go to reverse.

Mine does the same thing but with both, it's weird because the memory button will put into back and I can manually adjust them back so clearly the motors work fine but every time I get in my car they're pointed super high

Same thing happens to me sometimes, though they only are slightly off from the position at which I set them. Weirdly, it seems to not happen if I let the car run for at least 15 seconds before putting it in reverse
If I recall correctly, there was a thread a while ago discussing this same issue (but on the driver side only), and someone said that the dealer replaced a computer module in the door and it resolved the problem. I believe it was this module:

This may be a bit of a long shot but can help with a lot of electrical or computer issues in other areas so may work.
1.Set your mirrors to the correct position in Park.
2.Disconnect your battery both terminals.
3.Turn your Hi Beams on and hold the brake pedal down for 2-3 minutes to drain any residual charge from the electrical system, or just leave it for a while and go about your day.
4.Reconnect your battery (turn off anything you turned on first) your ECU should now have reset, and hopefully the electrical systems for your mirrors too.
Check if they work now! beware you may lose your trip information and possibly your radio presets but I cannot confirm.
