I've read on the Eta Tauri site about WRX's having Retracting Door Mirrors on them. What I want to know is:
What year were they first introduced?
What models do they come on?
As you know I'm getting a 1997 WRX Wagon and I'm curious as to know if it'll have the Retracting Door Mirrors.

As far as I know all wrxs have them from 95 onwards. I assume RAs and perhaps type rs dont. The 22B does.
I definitely have them on mine which is a saloon MY96.
I would guess that your wagon will have.

Doh! slip of the finger! My wagon will be a <B>1994</B> and [b]NOT</B> 1997 thus it looks like I'll be without the auto folder mirrors.
Must be a bast to replace if they get damaged though, so it might be a saving grace if I don't have them

OK, as some of you have these thingys then is there an override to get it to do it/stop doing it?
What's the score if you park, with the mirrors folded flat, and you come back and find that ********* have parked too close and the mirrors would hit something if you turn on the engine? I know this is unlikely as you'd probably not be able to get in the car anyway.

pnebbs:
where is the switch located? (got a pic?)
Can you fold them in and out with the engine on? If so then could be fun when you're stuck in a jam, wag the car's ears

I wasnt aware that automatic ones existed.
Mine are fully controllable whenever the ignition is on. They can be moved any way and stopped at any position. I fined moving them in slightly on the go reduces wind noise on motorways enormously.

I might see if I can design a circuit where they can be made to fold in automatically when the ignition goes off and out agin when it comes back on. Obviously this would need a switch (otherwise would make it difficult to clean the mirrors/windows )
