Hi Zola66,

The powerfolds are hard to come across, are yours the early bullet shape or the later egg shaped ones ?

do you know if you have the wiring in place to take the powerfolds as running the new cable to power both the mirrors is quite a job.

The bast place to find them is EBay and remember you will need a new mirror door unit with the extra button on for working powerfolds.

Good luck

You can also buy a pair from BoB and with a slight modification using your original stanchions, you'll have powerfolds at a lot less than retail.

Iirc is it not to do with the angle of the head itself in rlation to the base plate ? I recall somebody having LHD powerfolds didnt quite show the correct angle of reflection.
