Folding mirrors?

Post by indyfto »

Given that most FTOs have the electric folding mirrors - is it possible to fold them in/out manually or does that bust the mechanism? If so do the lesser equipped FTOs without the electric folding mirrors still have folding mirrors but just manually operated (ie: by hand)? or are thier mirrors fixed? Hopefully I haven't confused anyone as I wanna know before I bust the mirror up.

Thanks, Brad.

Thanks for that - I'll be sure to try them out later as they seem so rigid when you try to move them by hand.
