RE: Side mirrors' obscure feature?

["Bob Rossato" <bob.rossato@worldnet.att.net>]

This is a bit late but I'm still catching up on a lot of mail.  I noticed in
the Passat spec page on the VWoA web site that the Passat GLX has a mirror
folding feature as well.

"Mirrors fold "flush" against vehicle (when both left and
right mirror adjustment buttons are pushed simultaneously)"

Might work the same way on Audi's
