Can anyone tell me how to stop my pass. rear view mirror from tilting downward while reversing?!! It drives me nuts, 
especially trying to reverse into a stall. How can i see the parked car next to me if all my mirror does is point downwards as if to tell me there might be something on the ground i might hit, 
when i know for a fact there is nothing there!!!, or also reversing out of my garage. I can't see how close i am to the rails to make a clean and safe exit! i've already tried turning off the pdc yet it still does it. anyone care to chime in and solve my problem? thanx

On your left side where the window tilt controls are, push the lever from the left to the right. That stops it. Or was it right to the left....? That does it.
Thanks biggie!! btw my switch was on the left and just moved it to the right, gonna test it tomorrow...

I too, don't like the passenger mirror folding down. I normally set mine pretty low anyway, so I can see a bit of the kerb ( don't want to scuff those wheels!!), always have done, and when the mirror tilts , it just tilts a bit to far for me personally, even when I set the passenger mirror higher.
