Hi all, I'm loving my 987.1 but one thing is driving me crazy! When I reverse the passenger door mirror seems to pick one of two positions at random. It either dips down to my chosen reversing position, or it decides to go right to the stops, practically pointing at the floor. I've not been able to reliably recreate a situation that always causes one position or the other, it really does seem totally random. I must have set and saved my memory setting dozens of times, I've even read the manual, and when it moves to my chosen saved position it's perfect, but every now and again it just "decides" to point at the floor. Neither does it continue to behave the same after it ignores the memory setting. If I reverse once and it points to the floor, I can do nothing and the next time it'll "choose" to move to my memory position. As a computer nerd I'm forever telling people computers don't do things randomly, but I'm losing my faith.
The other memory functions work fine. The seat itself moves correctly to positions 2 or 3 on demand, and the separate keys work as they should when unlocking.
It's really more than a minor niggle as in the "floor" position the nearside door mirror becomes practically useless, not ideal if you're trying to rapidly get out of the way of an 18-wheeler that thinks he's still on a motorway, not driving down a narrow country lane...
It's got to be something I'm doing wrong in setting it, or something I'm doing different as I reverse, but I'm at my wits end trying to work out what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
