The same here, no movement on the driver side (left) no matter what. Is there anyway to adjust the position settings on the mirror to look lower? It doesn't quite move enough for me.

Never heard anyone claim their driver side mirror would tilt.

I guess I just assumed that they would both move, as that's how it works in both my father's and my in-laws Lexuses (Lexii?). Anyway, its obviously not a big deal, as the only time I would use the driver's side mirror tilt feature would be in backing into a spot, and I have the rear camera for that. Thanks for all the help, guys!

Oooh is this true? I need to test this next time Im out. I find that it doesn't go down enough currently and I was going to call my salesperson to fix this. Thanks for the info
