    Hello Friends.

    I've encountered a new issue after I got my car serviced.
    I set my side windows to auto close when I lock my car.
    Now after locking, the side windows will fold. but after about 30 seconds, the cabin lights will come on and the side mirrors automatically fold out. The car remains locked.
    It is not a critical issue since the car remains locked, but its incredibly annoying. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows any fixes?

    Much appreciated.
    thanks!

    No - mine stays folded.

    Have you checked that you can fold it in & out manually? Maybe it's not "parked" properly? Just check they aren't damaged, or something preventing them from folding completely, though I can't imagine what.

    If not, I'd check with where they got serviced - maybe they adjusted something.

    Make sure the mirror switch on the door in in the neutral position, i.e. not forward and not back, but level.
