To be honest, I've been driving a 7th-gen Accord for years, and folding the mirrors is a small thing but requires attention. After stepping out of the car, gently hold the bottom or edge of the mirror and push it outward—it will fold inward easily. No need to use excessive force to avoid damaging the mirror. Remember to fold them in tight parking spots or when washing the car to prevent scratches. I made mistakes when I first started driving—applying too much force in a hurry caused the mirror housing to loosen. Later, I learned to slow down—first lock the car with the key, then handle the mirrors gently. Most 2003-2007 models lack power-folding features, so it's all manual. Don’t overlook routine maintenance; regularly check the mirror joints for rust, or they might get stuck when folding. Overall, it’s a simple habit—taking a few seconds before parking can save repair costs.
