What am I doing wrong?
When I reverse and then go forward my mirrors do not return to the set position, (only come back 1/2 way). I have been in settings and verified them, and reset the mirrors to no avail. HELP or do I just need a lobotomy.

Mine started to do this the last few days (got it on 2/29/16) it seems to be hit and miss sometimes it only returns 1/2 way other times it goes back to the set position when it goes half way I can press and hold the memory preset and it does reset - I have only seen this with my passenger mirror not the driver mirror

I have mine set to go down when in reverse, and when backing into my garage they will go down, but then partway down the driveway(while still in reverse) they will go back up. No clue why, other than taking the foot off the gas, but as long as it's in reverse they should stay down. I drive a manual by the way. Anybody else have this issue?

Your seat or steering wheel is at the limit. Move your seat and/or your steering wheel one click from that limit and save that in your seat memory.
Its weird, sounds unrelated, and maybe even a little retarded, but the mirror will not return to the stored position when your seat/steering wheel is at the limit switch.
Good luck!

I don't have that problem. My settings are as T-Z06-J mentioned. But my wife has that problem in my new Regal GS that she drives...maybe it'll work on that also. Thanks for the reminder, T-Z06-J.

Its aggravating when it does it, as I use drivers mirror to see where the back tire has to stop.

Wow, my Z works perfect, after reading these post, not sure why. In my Z, when I back down my steep driveway, the mirrors continue to tilt down so the I have the same view. Like the function, wonder what I did right in the settings.

I have never had an issue with mine either, although, I have had times where hey time-out and return to the normal position before I am done using them to back up, if I am taking too long. But they never get stuck half-way.
