fallacy

You know for street parking? I was tugging on them last night and they didn't budge.

ed_423

they do, but not electronicly

Aman

I know I have an Accord, but they require a heck of a shove to fold in. I'd imagine the TSX would also require some force.

KillerG

wtf...09 mirrors fold in? you guys sure?

Push them in manually.

sky82

Aman

Probably fold out, too

ed_423

what i do is, gentally lift it UP JUST a little bit and push IN slowlllyyyy

Nammib0i

You can always just drive closely to a trash can and knock em in! I was quite tired that day, lol.

KillerG

wow o.O learned something new today
thanks ed.

Euronoob

To think such a new car wouldn't have this option to be done automatically ):

ed_423

^ me too. at first i was trying to find a button to closet it electroniclly....

need to get that module from japaN!

MrOtocinclus

It does take quite a bit of effort... if I ever need it, I use two hands to move it. Because it takes so much effort though, I try not to do it because I feel like I might break something.

TSteezyX

EDM models fold in my the touch of a button due to their narrow streets/car parks.

The USDM/NA version mirrors need to be manually folded in with a sledgehammer.

KillerG

like ed said i lifted mine a little and they moved with ease ;o

fallacy

awesome good to know. I was tugging on that bitch pretty hard too, guess i'll put some more power into it.

SuperCK

LOL..yup

BlacK_HawK10

Hmmm didn't know it had to be lifted first. No wonder I had to exert extra effort in pushing them in. I will try this next time

baltimorecaesar

You have to use a ball peen hammer. Just give them a quick smack on the turn signal, and they will fold back.

The Euro Accord's mirrors fold at the push of a dash button, which begs the question: why do we have to get out and fold our mirrors manually and Honda owners don't? The Accord badged version of the car shouldn't better equipped than the Acura version. I thought Acura was supposed to have the more upscale version.

pinatubo

I guess the ones who drive the Honda Accord in Europe are "richer" than the ones who drive the Honda Accord in U.S. and they are the same class as people who drive Acura in U.S.
Enough joke.
Here's the reason, in Europe, roads are small, super small, tiny bit, narrow, left alone parking spaces, just enough for Mr. Bean MimiCooper while in the U.S., geez, huge space, double space. I'm in Boston, MA and honestly I don't even remember the last time I have to fold the mirrors.

ed_423

lol i think we shuodl have a group buy of the mirror folding module!

TSXKid2010

^ Everyone wants a group buy of everything LOL

KillerG

i just want an intake : (

TSXKid2010

Yeah KillerG?
I want a spaceship/submarine TSX.
Can we have a group buy on those too?

KillerG

I learned the mirrors did this in the car wash. First, a moment of horror. Then, relief once I figured out they moved back.

Acuraboi04

Yeah these mirrors need some force when pushing in. Just wish for the price we pay for and need be this is considered in the entry luxury car division they should have standard
power folding mirrors and push button start!

Rocket_man

The mirrors folding in are a safety feature, like if you brush up against a pedestrian instead of a trash can, they will collapse and cause less damage. They are not meant to be folded in to tuck them out of the way on a regular basis. The euro cars have them as a feature so on narrow streets they don't get clipped by other cars. That's not usually a problem in the US.

TSX2010M

I thought the mirrors only folded out (away from the vehicle so the glass is showing), not in.


Fail.

KillerG

i hope you didnt find that out the hard way lol

perhaps mod?

ed_423

hey thats not too bad actually, but dont know if its a "necessary" mod haha. maybe on the bottom of the mod list

KillerG

very unnecessary. id rather get a sweet detail done

winter needs to pass already...

TallGuyNW

They actually fold both ways, as I found out in a car wash (the last time I'm taking it to a car wash)

rockyrose

Does anyone find that when they fold in their mirror... it has screwed up their personal settings for their outside mirror? I seem to always have to adjust mine.

jctsxguy

whew.. thank God these mirror fold out. As I was backing in I a loud snap and when I looked the mirror was folded out. I had a hit a steel bean on the parking deck. I almost had heart attack. I push it back to see if it go back back and snapped right back into place. If this was my old honda accord I would be look at 300 dollar bill.
