Auto Folding Mirrors

[aka The Dude]

Anyone on here have their mirrors fold every time they park?

I was thinking about enabling this, but was worried about the mirror motors going out.

Anyone have experience doing this for long periods of time?

Mine are absolutely set up to fold every time. I've been selling Lincolns for 7 years, and they have always had the power folding mirrors, and I've never seen an issue with them. I wouldn't expect it to be an issue.

My wife's 2011 Navigator didn't auto fold (you had to hit the button to make them do it), but we folded them religiously for almost 8 years before replacing that vehicle. We never had an issue with them either.

If you have snow and ice turn it off if not during warmer weather leave them on to fold, prevents others from hitting them and just gives everyone more room. If its on and you have snow or ice it can cause issues with the motor if the mirror is frozen in place.
