I know, I know, I should have checked
We have bought a really nice W169 A Classe - to use maybe 6 times a year and kept at a small flat that we have.
When I got it how I could not fold the mirrors - and could not get it in the garage - (we have a garage built in the 70's and it is less than 8ft 4" wide - that's the interior - the wooden posts for the garage door reduce the entrance).
Internet came to the rescue and I read that if you give them a sharpe knock the mirrors will collapse - if I do this it will just go in. Spoke to Mr MBZ dealer and he felt (in their usual arrogance!), that non folding mirrors were normal - but "we can fit electric folding mirrors for you Sir" at a cost of almost £1,000
Question: how many times can I risk these "sharpe knocks" to collapse the mirrors, (which the MBZ dealer said was NOT recommended), or is there a cost effective solution.
