6spd - auto tilt down side view mirror
Well it tilts down ok when I put the CLS in reverse, but it won't come back up 
Looks like a trip to the dealer for some warranty work

That will help retain what little sanity I have left till I make it to the dealer

Guess I'll have to look thru the Helms to see if there is anything on that...

Doesn't the memory of the mirrors get set along with your Driver seat memory? I believe mine does, try clear the 1 and 2 settings and see if that helps out.
Unless.... I was smoking something that day, but I could've sworn that the last time someone drove my car and I pressed the "1" setting it reset my side-view mirrors as well.

hey GreenMonster on a non related topic, in your sig, how did you figure out what production # car you have? is there a site or is it through the VIN?

The part where I say "one of 217 San Marino Red 6spds" (it's a clickable link) is from Hohlake's analysis of the acura data available from the owners link...
The direct link to the thread where Hohlake (Steve) released the info is here:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=125628&page=2
My 6spd was built in a batch of 12 other SMR/parchment non-nav 6spds...
8863 thru 8874 12 non Red Parch
Get the prod. number of your 6spd, and look it up in the data... There's a summary of the number of color combos w/ and w/o nav in the thread too.

I looks like when the mirror tilts down, it gets "hung up" for a split second, and then keeps going. Does the same thing on the way back up. Looks like sometimes it gets stuck in stead of hung up (returning to the normal position).
It was worth a shot, but it looks like I'll just disable the auto tilt on the SIDE mirror till I get to the dealer.
