Folding mirrors

[Cupped_up]

Do your power folding mirrors hit your windows when you fold them in? Mine tap the glass and shift slightly upward when they are folded all the way in...

Yes they do, it’s kinda annoying.

No, mine do not do that.

I was hearing that “thump” too. But one time I had the window down, folded the mirror, and heard the same noise.

I thought mine tapped the window too when I first started folding them in to keep birds from fighting with their reflection and ****ting on my truck. It makes a thump but they actually don't touch the glass. I took a piece of paper and put it between the mirror and the window and there is a tiny gap of maybe an 1/8th of an inch or so.

You will find that the mirrors don't actually hit the windows. It's a common misconception. Fold them with the windows down and they will do the exact same thing. Or hold a piece of paper where you think they are hitting the window and fold them in. They won't touch the paper.

Sounds like it does but after dozens of tests they do not

So what is making the noise that everyone is hearing?

Ditto. Thought they hit but they actually don’t. Still pretty annoying noise. Oh well.
