SL r129 door mirrors

Could someone tell me if they fold in or not ? Thanks in advance...

The face lifted cars (post 97?) have the power folding option.

What about the early cars.do they fold in manually ?

Folding Mirrors are only on the final facelift cars (late 98-on). You can tell the difference because they have rounded mirrors rather than squarish ones. (Although my own car seems to be an odd spec as it has the rounded mirrors but they do not fold!)

The older cars I think just have the normal "spring loaded" mirrors that will fold if clouted to prevent them snapping off.

When I was looking I thought the folding mirrors would be useful for fitting the car in my garage, but actually they don't fold too much, and I can get it in ok anyway.

Hope this helps.
