Right Side Mirror Dimmer :: Doesn't Work?
Didn't drive my Camaro for 2 days;
Yesterday, when I started it in the morning I noticed that my rear-view mirror and left mirror are dimmed with that blue-ish tint, well, probably because sun-light was striking the car from behind. Strangely, my right side-mirror was not dimmed at all. Why is that? Should I take it to dealership to get it fixed?

I know on my 2012 it doesn't dim like the other two, but that's how it is...do the 2013's dim all three?

As far as I know its only on the driver's side and not the passengers.

passenger mirrors do not dim, because they are convex mirrors, it would distort the image to the point of not being able to see anything..
no vehicle with a convex passenger mirror has autodim on that mirror.

Only the rearview mirror and the drivers side mirror have the dimmer on them. My 2005 Tahoe is the same way.

I thought they didnt put a dimmer on the passenger side because your suppose to have it adjusted so when you turn your head and look at the mirror you see whatever is behind you. That is how I have mine setup so I don't have glare problems.

and the proper way to adjust your mirrors. you should see little to none of your own vehicle, the drivers mirror should be aimed as to see the lane to your left the center to see behind you (though in these cars it's rather pointless as the mirror arm isn't long enough to allow you to adjust it correctly) the passenger mirror should be aimed to see what is in the lane to your right.. then each should slightly overlap the other so you can see the vehicles behind you leaving one mirror and entering the next. This minimizes blind spots. proper mirror adjustment:
