Is it possible to make the reverse mirror dip more?

[mr_robot]

I fixed the Passenger Side mirror as it wouldn't go up or down by taking it apart and cleaning the electrical motors. Now it goes down when I put it in reverse but not enough so it's kinda useless.

Is it supposed to be like this or can it be adjusted to go all the way down so I can actually see the curb??

I can manually (electrically) make it go down further with the switch but then it just stays down and doesn't come up automatically.

Yes, it is doable by coding and you can adjust the angle.

Had the same problem with my 2008 4.8 a couple of years ago.
I replaced the motor and it works as designed now.

Ok so it's supposed to dip all the way by default.

Correct

I wonder what the issue is. If I wasn't able to dip them down with the switch then I understand something maybe still wrong with the motor or something but it's not the case.

As far as coding goes, I only have Carly for now and no options to adjust dip angle.

Until you can find a solution...you can always use one of your seat memory settings if you haven't used both of them yet.

If you have an "empty" seat memory setting...then use that button to lower the passenger mirror as low as you need it to go for parallel parking. Then when you need to use it, just press that memory seat button (no need to change the seat setting...just the passenger mirror). You'll obviously need to set the other one for normal driving so all that it will take to return the mirror to normal driving position is to press the other button.

That's brilliant! Yea I'm the only one who drives this car at the moment so I will sent memory 2 just for the mirror!

Well I did what Qsilver7 suggested but got annoying quick lol

Anyone know how to code this? Is it like an angle setting?
