Power folding mirror.

While reading the manual today, I find the page about manual AND POWER folding mirror options. I was elated to see the option, which is something I have always been missing. Since I have a limited version, I thought I must have it. However, when I go to check out the car, there is no button there! I am totally pissed off. TOTALLY.

They're nice but I liken them to a power seat - extra unnecessary weight.

I believe the wiring is usually hidden in there and its just a matter of getting the mirrors and the switch.

don't forget to lubricate the mirrors with blinker fluid and make sure u run the coolant lines to them otherwise they might overheat
