side view mirrors

Due to my car's setup, I have to pretty much adjust the side view mirrors every time I get in the car because the rawness and vibration shakes them out of position. I assume many have this same issue. Any comments would be appreciated. No improving this I don't guess...

My Z06 is lowered and a little stiffer than stock and I've never had that issue. You maybe have a worn mirror problem, never have neard of this complaint before.

I'd try a new set of mirrors.......or get rid of the rawness and vibration.

If you have Memory functions, you can set one of the buttons for your "normal" mirror position.
If you don't have a memory window switch on your door panel, you can buy one and you'll have all memory functions (mirrors & seat) except for the telescopic wheel.

I'd have to agree that it sounds more like a problem with your mirrors than anything else. I've never had to reset my mirrors after driving the car in any of the 3 C5s I've owned.
