First Time Here
Hi Everyone,
I bought a 2005 Coupe with 23K on it a few weeks ago after 35 years or so of wanting a Vette. This may have been covered somewhere in the forums but the rearview mirror is killing me at night. A couple of weeks ago, I took an evening drive with the top out and the mirrors all dimmed perfectly. That's the only time they seem to have worked. Any ideas on how to adjust the sensor with the top in place and still get the auto dimming feature to work?
Thanks for the assist,
Mike

Maybe you accidentally turned off the auto dimming feature. Here's some information from the 2005 owner's manual, page 2-34.
Mirror Operation
The mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A time delay feature prevents
rapid changing from the day to night positions while
driving under lights and through traffic.
P(On/Off): The automatic dimming feature is
automatically activated when the vehicle is started. The
automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing this button located on the lower part of the
mirror. Press and hold the button for up to three seconds
to turn this feature on or off.
T (Indicator Light): This light will turn on when the
automatic dimming feature is active.
