What Causes Uneven Folding Speed of Rearview Mirrors?
2 Answers
Uneven folding speed of rearview mirrors is a normal phenomenon. Among tested vehicles, button-operated folding electric rearview mirrors account for a significant proportion. The characteristic of this type of rearview mirror is that there is a separate "one-touch folding" button near the door-mounted mirror adjustment button - pressing it once folds the mirrors. Relevant information about rearview mirrors is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers sitting in the driver's seat to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower areas of the vehicle. 2. Introduction 2: To facilitate driver operation, prevent traffic safety accidents, and ensure personal safety, all countries require that vehicles must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be directionally adjustable.
I noticed that the folding speed of the side mirrors is uneven, which might be due to gear issues. For example, one side's gears could be worn or jammed with dirt, as dust and rainwater can cause unstable operation. Additionally, motor aging or low battery voltage can lead to uneven power supply, making one side stronger than the other. I recommend not forcing them to fold to avoid damaging the gears. It's best to get them checked and repaired promptly, and keep them clean in daily use. If left unfixed for a long time, the entire side mirror could become unusable, which would be quite troublesome.
