Adjusting wing mirror glass?? (2016 Leon)

[Wilkesy]

Hello, went to reverse today and the left wing mirror drops fine but still can’t see where the line is to park in a bay. The right one is fine but the glass in the left one could do with adjusting a tad and even when driving normally I have to stretch my neck a bit to see cars on the left side.

in my Ibiza I could adjust the glass with the little control stick on the driver side car door but can’t see a setting my Leon. Is it possible to just adjust the wing mirror glass?

iv tried vehicle settings but only shows the drop left one when reversing setting that’s all.

Have you tried this? From the Owners Manuals section on Seat’s website;



Tilt function for front passenger exterior mirror *
When parking backwards, and in order to be able to see the kerb, the passenger side mirror can be automatically tilted towards the passenger to provide a better view of the kerb. The control must be in the position R a) for this feature to be operational.

The mirror returns to its original position as soon as you drive forward at over 15 km/h (9 mph) or switch off the ignition. It also returns to its original position if the position of the control is adjusted.

Storing the rear view mirror settings for the tilt function

• Switch the ignition on.
• Using the Easy Connect system, button > Vehicle > SETTINGS > Mirrors and wipers > Mirrors select Lower while reversing >>> .
• Select the R a) position on the control.
• Select reverse gear.
• Adjust the front passenger exterior mirror so that you can see, for example, the kerb area well.
• Release the reverse gear.
• The adjusted position for the rear view mirror is stored.

I think the selection of ‘R’ relates to LHD cars. Assuming the dipping kerbside door mirror set up is the same as VW, the mirror control should be set at ‘L’ for RHD cars as it’s the left and side / kerbside door mirror that you’re setting up.

Sound cheers pal. I’ll have a look when iv done work. It’s nothing bad but just a bit annoying on the motorways. Even my car manual finest saying anything about adjusting the glass for better vision ect...

I’ll report back

The normal adjustment is just a matter of selecting left or right and then adjusting the mirror angle with the rocker switch.
