Thanks for the info @Jay762. I'll do some more research into that. Something that has me wondering is that it feels and sounds wrong folding the mirrors in manually, like I'm going to break them if I keep doing it. It feels like you're fighting/forcing the motor to the point that I have a hard time believing that was by design. I need to do some more investigation to figure out if it's definitely the case that they only ever power-folded out.

Hi everyone. First post here. I've just upgraded/sidestepped to a 2007 Outback (facelift) Auto from a 2006 Legacy Estate (pre-facelift) Manual. The new one has a lot of options that the other didn't, full leather, parking sensors, heated seats etc... Having been used to folding the mirrors in and out by hand on the Legacy, I discovered that the new one also has powerfold mirrors, as they folded out automatically when I turned the ignition on. But... there is no button for folding them back in again! The manual shows this button and it's definitely missing from mine. Just a blank where it would be. Seems like the button was an optional extra even after powerfold mirrors had been selected? I find that really weird. Anyway, my question is, given that the mirrors fold themselves out at ignition on, is there a way to have them fold in at ignition off or better still, alarm activation? Failing that, I'm wondering what would be involved in adding that missing button... Any pointers or suggestions would be much appreciated.
