Hi How About Power Fold-in-mirrors, That Fould In Toword The Body Of The Car By Switch, Like The Side Mirrors On The Mersedes Benz, Has Anyone Done This Mod Or Upgrade? I Have Been Trying To Get These Mirrors For More Than A Year Now.

Mate, we get that feature as standard here in OZ.

Had a quick look through this thread a while ago and didn't recall seeing any pics so I thought while I did mine finally the other day I might take a few for the newbies too see and also do it a different way from the others.

This is in the off position, the the left of the circle is the auto position



With a small flat blade screw driver insert it carefully at the base of the light switch knob and pop it off the light switch shaft



This 2nd plastic stop is all that is stopping the light switch knob from rotating around into the auto position, I have read else where that people remove this with tools such as dremels, die grinders, swiss army knives and even nail cutters LOL, I am not a fan of butchering my light switch assy so I thought of an different way to do mine



I decided to cut away the excess plastic off the back of the light switch knob instead with just a small stanley knife, I cut about half of it away as you can see in the two pics below




Push the light switch knob back onto your light switch and now rotate past the off circle to the auto position, only thing you will need now is a letter A sticker to put on there, going to try and see if a local newsagent has a set next time I take it out for a lap



If your unsure of anything please ask and I will try to help

Thanks for what seems to be a very good approach, one that I'm prepared to try. This really appeals to me because there seems to be minimal chance of ruining a costly switch, minimal chance of sending dust (from grinding) into switchgear and, should one wish to reverse the effect, replacement of a cheap and easily fitted knob is all that would be involved.
