Before the fix when mirror was swinging up and down after a while it was settling in a position I could see the wheel and actually things behind the car. Now it goes so low all I can see is the ground. It looks like to revers I have to switch this off and only turn it on when parking next to carbs. Hiw does it work on yours does it go so low. I wonder is there any chance to adjust how low the mirror will go ?
Many thanks again

I find the dip function positivity worthless it's almost like they forgot to actually test it out. It literally points the mirror at what you've already driven over. I think it's meant as curb distance guide.
In addition it only does the passenger side that doesn't help at all for driver side parking.
I have a good workaround: use the 3rd memory on your seat position for parking. Set the position for your driving then save as memory 1 or 2 first then set both mirrors to aim slightly behind your car not at the rear wheel.
(I use only the vertical adjustment so less wear and tear on the mirror: no good reason to adjust left/right). Leave the adjuster switch set to the passenger side to override the moronic factory dip setting. (apparently named after the inventor).
Now when parking and need to see the curb quick tap memory 3. When done quick tap memory 1/2.
This eliminates the 80-90% of the time the dip motor would have run: example if it takes 3 times rev/fwd to get in a tight spot the factory method operates the motor 3 times. And of course it points the mirror somewhere much more helpful: at what you are about to run into rather than what you JUST RAN OVER.
