#12 of 13 Folding mirrors. by mschmal Jun 25, 2007 (10:45 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Jun 25, 2007 10:45 am) When the sticker reads dual folding power/heated mirrors, it is referring to the fact that the mirrors can be folded manually. All expeditions have manually folding mirrors. If you pull the mirror towards the window, it will fold in. This is convenient for parking on narrow streets to prevent someone from taking your mirror off. However, on Expedition Limiteds and Lincoln Navigators, these mirrors are power-folding power/heated mirrors. This means that if you pull straight back on the driver's side mirror adjustment knob, the mirrors should fold in automatically without having to get out of the vehicle to do so. Once again, as far as I know, this feature is only on Expedition Limiteds (I'm unsure of King Ranches, but it's not on Eddie Bauers, XLTs, or XLSs) and Lincoln Navigators.
