Auto-dimming Mirror malfunction?
I drive a '13 GS, with auto-dimming mirror. I notice the dimming works on both the rearview, and the driver door mirrors . . . but not on the passenger door mirror. Is my passenger door mirror malfunctioning, or is the auto-dimming supposed to work on only the rearview and the driver door mirrors?
OK, thanks guys, got the answer. The rearview mirror controls the driver side; the passenger side is an ordinary mirror.

The auto dimming only for rear view and driver side mirror .
From the driver manual:
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver’s
side outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off setting on the inside mirror.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a rough time in those areas, but I believe those have been the general PITA areas. I too had some difficulty with those areas. I actually took about 2 weeks in total before I put mine back together because I was waiting on a new HUD bezel(broke during removal of dash) to come in along with a new ignition key guard (had been broken since I purchased ). My total time spent on it though was only about 6-7 actual working hours.
Over all I was happy with how my project turned out.
I hope your repair and time spent on it lasts.
I too will probably be doing new seat foam and covers for my next project. Kinda put a few small holes in my passender seat, but wasn't supprised at it tho because of how hard and stiff the cover had gotten.
