ok guys if you have memory seats and heated side view mirrorsyou can have the dealer enable auto tilt side mirrors!

this means when you put your truck in reverse the side mirrors will turn down slightly automatically for you. After you take the truck out of reverse, they will go back to their normal angle!

Many Chrysler vehicles come with a user-programmable feature that allows the side mirrors to automatically tilt downward when the vehicle is put into reverse.

You don't need the auto dim.. only the seat memory and power adjusting mirrors. I did this great cheap mod, both sides go down but if you adjust the mirror when it's down, it will not return back up, you have to do it manually or press your seat memory button again. Also they are a little slow so be aware i.e. backing up to get out of a parallel parking spot then quickly checking your mirror for an opening to the street, you'll have to crouch down to see the street b/c the mirror takes 4-5 seconds to return to its original position.

No experiences in winter but sometimes my mirrors will "shake" into position if that makes any sense... it'll get stuck in increments until it reaches the set position. Having this feature will increase wear on your mirror motor b/c it's being used all the time.
ah ha

I've had mine done for a while now and I didn't have any problems this past winter. I have noticed lately that they seems like they "shake" into place sometimes like Ryan was saying... is there any service points on these mirrors? I realize that having them move so much would wear the motors more than normal, but I wouldn't think it should affect them too much....

Well, If you have the tilt function, Then you have heated mirrors, If its winter driving you prolly have front or rear defrost on. Well either one activates the heater mirrors and if they are warm they should not have anything that will stop them or jamb them. It should all melt off in theory.
