Poll - rear view mirror

Post by joatmon »

Most internal rear view mirrors have a lever to shift from normal to dim, to help with glare from headlights behind at night. The other day I realized that I could adjust the mirror so that I pushed the lever forward to dim, the readjusted the mirror so that it looked ok, I could then pull the lever back to dim. Played with that for a while, forgot how it was to begin with, so I set it up to pull back to dim. How is the rear view mirror in your car set up?

Pull for dim. My Civic I never had to when I got it tinted, and in my fiance's Jeep, her stock tints are ridiculous so we never have to adjust it. If we flip it, then you can't see anything.
