Never noticed this till yesterday, but my driver side mirror folds and extends slower than the passenger side. Has anybody else noticed this on their car?

It's not really a big deal, but figure I'll check if this is typical or a sign of things to come. I'm sure if I bring it to the dealer they'll just laugh at me or tell me it's "within spec."

For a company that used to use the tag line "The relentless pursuit of perfection" - this is hardly perfection

 

What year is your RX?

 

I think every Lexus does this. My mom had a 2015 GS had it did this. Our 13 RX, 19 NX does this as well. We now have a 21 ES where the mirrors folds vertically and the passenger side goes up quicker than the driver side too. I believe it something about the angle the passenger mirror sits. Even though they seem symmetrical, I believe the passenger side folds quicker because it doesn't fold in as far as the driver side.

I could be wrong but I think on another thread this was mentioned before. So it's normal.

 

Thanks just wanted to check if this is typical. Never really paid attention to it before.

its a 2017 btw

 

My 2019 is the same. One slower. It really bothered me in the beginning and now I don't notice.

 

Same here. Had a 3RX that also did the same thing, although the passenger side mirror was considerably slower than the driver side when folding inward.

 

Must be a Lexus thing my 2016 ES350 does the same Here in Australia.
