It's the litle switch under the "electric mirror move thing" on the facia. It's usually set to the middle position (from memory), but clicking left makes them fold in, and right to fold out again. There is a way to do it automatically (when the ignition is switched on and off), but I can't find the post that explains how to change the wiring....

Thats because you dont have folding mirrors. Dont think they were standard until at least '95, maybe '96.

You should be able to, they are pretty stiff though.

Sorry, I have misled you.....
Just looked in the car, and the button for folding the mirrors back is to the right if the joystick, not underneath.
The switch that you are refering to does indeed swap between the left and right mirrors.
Sorry!

the folding mirrors are not fitted to all the import classics. i think they were a revision for the 95 model year "C" series cars.
