Freezing Weather ? Watch Those Powerfold Mirrors !

[dave.m]

Went to put Rav in garage late last night, covered in snow which had frozen solid (we had minus 7 C last night).

Hit my mirror fold button to get through garage door without thinking, and you guessed it, stuck solid halfway.

Well this morning with hot water and a bit of persuassion I managed to get them un-froze. Albeit in the wrong

position, luckilly after a few times in and out they went back to the correct position. :)

Good advice Dave, I pulled in for fuel this morning + fuel flap wouldn't release managed to free it off but good job no-one was queuing behind so might be a good idea not to let fuel run too low

Nice one Dave, very timely I've always been very careful of the electric windows and windscreen wipers but not considered the mirrors before. I will from now on!

Use mine every day to get into the narrow carpark at work and they really groaned this morning. Would hate to bust one - good advice Dave.

I left the RAV out last night after thinking it seemed to warm up but it was like an igloo this morning (-7 deg C). I had one brake frozen on at the rear - which thanks to the 4WD soon warmed up and freed off.

Had so much fun today delivering Christmas cards - this motor is ace!!! Got to places you couldn't walk.
