Picked up my new h3 today, and have a very newbie question. The side mirrors fold in, but are they able to just fold in a little? Like manual adjustment on the whole side mirror unit?

I ask because it seems like the driver side mirror unit sticks out further than the passenger side (when in the drivers seat), I've tried moving it, but only got it to completely fold in and I'm trying not to break it right away. thanks

Congrats on your new H3.

Can't answer your question for sure but I am betting that it basically has two positions. You could probably fold it in part way but it most likely wouldn't stay in that position.

It should fold in towards the window on the doors and almost touch the door. They DO NOT fold forward towards the front of the vehicle. If you try it, they will break. If your sitting in the drivers seat, roll the window down, grab the side frame of the mirror and pull it towards you.

i think you have two options folded or not folded. if you leave it in between i believe you will find that wind resistance will fold them the rest of the way. So to answer your question no they are not adjustable.

Thanks for the replies. I drove it more and they seem to be in the same posistion to me now. It's just weird coming from a lowered car with fixed mirrors to this, but I love it!

WOW.....I have had my H3 since June and never knew the mirrors folded. I guess I will have to continue reading the posts so I can see what other features I have that I don't know about. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Not trying to be a wise a s s But we all should read The H3 manual http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I brang the H3 on the ferry and I had to go up the ramp and into tight spot ,if the mirrors were not folded in they would have been slammed. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
There was a thread a while ago about dammage to H3 mirrors in car washes.I dont normally use car washes but if you do fold mirrors in.
