UPDATED: FIXED. Manufacturing Issue or Stupid question - how to manually fold mirrors?

[Boo_Radley]

Hi all -

New RR owner here. I’ve looked in the manual for this already, but the manual is …. Not great, and I’m unable to find an answer to this.

I know how to set the RR to automatically fold the mirrors when I turn off the truck. But is there a way to do this manually while the engine is on? Sometimes I need this (at least in our SUv) to get closer to my parents’ mailbox at the end of their dirt road, etc.

I cannot find a button or a screen that lets me do this! The button shown in the manual doesn’t exist in my truck!

TIA.

Yeah there's a button on the door near where you adjust the mirrors - not sure how to discribe it from memory but it's there. press it once and they fold, press it again and they open out again

Yeah - I don’t have that button!!

Yeah - I don’t have that button!!

wha??? Mine's an Aus spec Raptor and has this button, but the other poster has the button in an US spec XLT - if an XLT has it then so should a Raptor. I wonder if any other US spec Raptor owners can advise if they too have this button or not??

Wow that is different. I have a Canadian spec Raptor delivered in May and manufactured in Jan/Feb, it has the same window switches as the Aus spec above. I wonder if Ford have supply chain issues, maybe the wiring is installed and you can get a replacement switch unit installed by the dealer.

Ok so the mystery continues - I looked at some other 2024 RRs being advertised on cars.com, and it looks like they DO have that button!? What the heck?

Supposed to be standard on all RR. I'd look into it with the dealer. Maybe try @Ford Motor Company.

Thanks - I’ll do that - here’s a better pic in the daytime.

could someone else with a 2024 USA based RR post a picture of theirs?

Thank you! Sent a dm to ford on this forum - will see how that goes before escalating to the local dealer

That is super weird. I have the XLT High equipment group on my XLT but if you have a Raptor, you should have more stuff than me, not less.

I assume they built it with the wrong switches, e.g. XLT window switches instead of RR. I forget what forum I was on but a guy bought a new truck and the rear doors were from a different trim level than the front doors. How that passed QC is beyond me.
