2008 - 370-GT Coupe - V36 Side wing rear view mirrors dont re-align after reverse

[Vee37]

So I have the car in the title, and I love that the side wing, rear view mirrors dip / point down when the car is in reverse. And as expected, they *attempt* to revert back to the original position, but fail. They appear to overshoot, and I have to manually adjust them back into position. Normally they return with a angle pointing slightly into the sky 😠

I know I can turn off the tilt on reverse, but I find it very useful when reversing out of my VERY tight garage.

Is this normal or common?

I tried the window reset type procedure. ie move to highest then to lowest. And it did not change.

Any other suggestions? Is there another trick?

I never had this problem in mine.

What about using the seat position buttons?

Don't they remember steering wheel and mirror positions?

It's not a fix but im thinking you could just press the memory button to return it to your preset position

Mine is a 2008 370GT SP Coupe,. and I have never experienced any seat position memory/return. It does not have the 1-2 buttons on the door, for different driver's. Are they the "seat position" buttons you are talking about?

I drove yesterday, and I noted that the passenger side actually returned pretty much spot on and did not need adjustment after reversing. But, the drivers side did after every reverse. Its not a total killer, as I leave the "side control" turned to the drivers side, and its becoming almost a muscle memory to tilt it down again after reversing. But obviously still not the best way to be.

yeah. 

Maybe my memory of my car is wrong. I did have 2011 V36 SP, maybe in the newer model it had them.

It was also an option on the earlier models, and another being heated seats.  I saw some when targeting my year. Neither of which mine has.
