Electric mirrors gone crazy

[DaveGT84]

Hey guys. Tried to adjust the passenger mirror on my 52 plate cupra this morning and noticed the drivers side was being adjusted at the same time. Switched over to the drivers side and when adjusting exactly the same thing again. Both mirrors moving simultaneously. Anyone heard of this before or know what could be causing it before I start pulling it apart?

I have a similar problem Dave!

I try to move the driver's mirror and both do the same thing, fortunately when I select the passenger mirror it moves without affecting the driver's side so not quite as annoying as your one.

Would too love to know if it's an easy fix?!

They do this from factory

Yep its normal for both to move but passenger should be able to move independently.

On some early models the passenger mirror adjusts when selecting reverse gear as well

That's a pretty cool idea

It works well and confuses the hell out of any passengers

First time I've noticed it to be honest and always have to adjust mirrors after the foreigners have washed it. Strange

The cars once had electric memory seats so different drivers just set a switch and the seat and mirrors adjusted accordingly to that driver, I guess its a feature left over from that.

Once the mirrors are set then if different people use the car they only need to adjust the drivers side as the passenger should follow relatively... in theory of course
