Although not a Porsche my VW sometimes loses the tilt position and you need to re-adjust occasionally.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I'm sure my left side wing mirror used to tip down in reverse by quite a big amount so you could see the road. Now it just kind of pathetically twitches by a few mm when selecting R (and returns when going into D). The mirror itself moves just fine under manual control and the option is still ticked in the settings menu (have also tried setting it off and on again). Am I remembering wrong? Did the mirror insert really move right down at an angle?

Have you tried adjusting the tilt position? Although not a Porsche my VW sometimes loses the tilt position and you need to re-adjust occasionally.

Why are door mirrors increasingly referred to as wing mirrors? Wing mirrors were outlawed on safety grounds decades ago.
Textbook pointless reply, thanks 👍

Interesting! So you go to R, set the desired tilt and it will remember that?

Do you own a Hoover?

My thoughts exactly, imagine if we corrected all words and sayings to their original meaning. I expect half of the parts on cars have changed meaning over the years.

It does on a VW and I can't imagine the Porsche is different.
