I have to admit that I wouldn't mind an interior manual adjustment handle for the passenger side mirror, even if it adds a few ounces to the weight of the car. It is a real pain to get adjusted.
I figured that was the case, but I expected the spring to activate only when the mirror had reached the end of it's travel. It made adjusting it a little weird. Now that I know how far it goes it shouldn't be a problem.
