folding mirrors??

[Chi-town Chick]

i have a 98 accord ex and i was wondering why my mirrors don't fold. i didn't realize this when i bought the car, but i look at every honda on my street and their mirrors fold. WTF?? is it all 98's? or is mine on crack??

on 98 accords mirrors were not folding, folding mirrors were added at 99.
you can swap, if you want to.

Honestly I think the previous owner replaced them for whatever reason.. As far folding mirrors starting in 99; your on crack I have a 97 Accord and mine fold, I had an 89 Accord and they too folded.. Its a safety feature.

well then i am really pissed!!! for what reason would they change the damn mirrors for??? i don't get it. but i also read the owners manual and it said nothing about folding mirrors. i dunno. oh well thanks guys!!!

you mean power folding or manual folding?

[Chi-town Chick]

well manual fold i guess, like when i'm parked on the street and i don't want someone to sideswipe my mirrors. i don't really need them to fold but it's pissing me off because i don't understand why the previous owner would change the damn mirrors. if they bought it with folding mirrors, they should have replaced it with folding mirrors, right???
