But then you can't manually dip it without re-adjusting the mirror.

I'd suggest that you ensure that the sensor on the mirror side is clean, and maybe angle it downwards just a little more. Perhaps you can have a co-driver check whether light from the vehicle behind is actually hitting the sensor on those times it doesn't dip but you'd like it to.



I wouldn't rule out there being a fault with the mirror, or it's wiring, making it work intermittently.


P.S: Sometimes even when they do work it's not enough if you've got a modern range rover behind you - they dazzle whatever you do.
