Default Passenger's side view mirror dip not working

Hey guys. Recently my mirror dip has not been working.
Double checked and the option is on.
It does move a bit when I put it into reverse but doesn't go all the way down, like it did before.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you tried in checking the option, switching off and restarting the car and then ticking the option again? It is a software controller.

Does the mirror dip using the door switch?

This should isolate the cause.

have you tried to put it in reverse (while in reverse) adjust mirror as needed. then try rechecking it by putting it to drive and back into reverse?

Mirror dip does work.
I am
Going to try putting into reverse then setting the dip.
That might be it?
Makes sense?

Fixed it!!!
Thanks for the help guys.
I imagine this happened when I lent my car to my uncle.
He must have had it in reverse and then realized he needed to adjust the mirros.

This is good information as anyone could easily do this without realizing it is a "feature" to be able to pre-adjust the extent of the dip.
