neerajkalra73 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hello I have an 08RX350. The passenger side rear view mirror auto tilts all the way down when the vehicle is put in Reverse, but the Driver side mirror tilts only 1cm or so. I think the Driver side mirror used to tilt more when I purchased the vehicle but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm whether the driver side mirror is supposed to tilt only 1 cm or should it tilt down more like the passenger side mirror. Thanks a lot, Raj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgr7 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm not sure of the exact distance but the driver side does not move as much as the passenger side. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
googs Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thats funny, because I just noticed that myself the other day. Bought the car almost 1 month ago and it was tilting but I think ever since I made changes to the site mirrors it does not tilt as much.

rx350guy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Personally, I prefer them not to tilt at all, so I set them the way I like them one time, and leave the toggle switch in the neutral position. This way they don't move when the car is put in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXinATL Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Same here on 07 RX350. I was able to get it to work again by - with the car in reverse, move the mirror all the way down then up to where I wanted it for reverse. It would then work for a few days but stopped again and only moved about a half inch. Took it to dealer who will be replacing the mirror.

clickart Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think the passenger side tilt more than the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a few months ago that someone had moved the mirror assembly while the car was parked. The glass itself was quite out of place. I moved the glass back to position manually, and it made a ratchety sort of noise. I suspect something inside has gone awry. It may be that we fuss more with the driver side mirror. It's possible that the passenger side mirror could also have this problem. One of the down sides of this vehicle is that it is very difficult to watch behind you when backing up at night. The back window is very highly tinted. The tilting mirrors help only a little bit. It would be nice to have brighter back up lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rfauen Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Is it relatively easy to replace drivers side mirror? Are there videos available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
