Power Folding Mirrors

[jstein1990]

I recently noticed that on the Tahoes for sure, when you fold the mirrors in, it scratches the paint on the mount on the door. Has anyone else noticed this and is it worth having Chevy fix it?

I have noticed that it kinda scratches the part of the door that attaches and holds mirror in place. This is only noticeably when mirrors are folded in if you really look for it. Maybe gm could have done a better job but not really a big deal not worth the trip to dealership. Maybe a mention when your there for service. ?

I can't seem to get the "auto fold" feature to work for some reason. Humph.

Recently a friend had the same 2 problems. Crud builds up between the 2 surfaces where the movement is. I advised him to clean and lube the area and when he did he noticed it worked easier and did not leave a movement scratch mark. If your mirrors do not work at all then will need to figure that out to get working again but when you do, clean the surfaces and lube.

Appreciate that good feedback. Mine is only a day old so no buildup yet. Could be user error but I did read the manual.

It would always always be great if every poster revealed their rigs year, make and model. It's not a secret, is it?

Sorry. I just picked it up and haven't had a chance to get my signature setup.

2015.5 Denali

In the signature or not, just remember that asking for help here is like taking your vehicle in to a shop or dealership and the very first thing they ask is the year, make and model.

I have gotten in a couple 2015's and the auto fold setting seems to do absolutely nothing.

Yep. I have it enabled and nothing. I did read that you have to use the RKE (which I have) but still nothing.

Anyway, appreciate you bringing the scratching issue up (your original topic - apologies). I have to fold them to safely garage it so I will keep my eye on that.
