I must be really thick, but I just can't think of any reason to fold the mirrors anyway -- I just thought they folded so they wouldn't break off in a tight garage or parking lot entry, ha.

If it's to protect them in a car wash, then duh who'd use a car wash with brushes that could knock off your mirrors ...so many car washes to choose from without risk of that, and besides the mirrors benefit from a wash too ...turned in they just collect water spots.

?? - if a parking space is so tight it can't allow a side mirror, then it won't allow the door to open either. I suppose with the emergency back hatch release you could crawl out the back. Is that what Europeans have to do?

Do motorcyclists fold back their own mirrors so they can pass through? Seems like the onus is on them since they are the one taking the action. But anyway, as a motorcyclist myself, not knowing which, or if, a car I'm passing will fold it's mirror is a set-up for an accident --you're not actually helping motorcyclists generally.

Any other reasons folks can invent for their folding mirrors?
