Manual Mirror Dimming

My RX-8 has the sport package--you know without the nice auto-dimmer feature. Just like most people I have to dim the mirror myself. Has anyone else experienced the annoyance of having to adjust the position after dimming or "un-dimming?"

I can't remember for sure, but I think I see too much ceiling when I dim, and too much back seat when I "un-dim."

If anyone else has experienced this, has Mazda done anything to fix the issue?

Well manual dimming, you're suppose to see the ceiling but the reflection of the rear view should also been seen although a bit dimm.

No problem here. Maybe try a lighter touch.

Actually, the dim view that I see is about half the rear window (and through it, of course) and then half of the ceiling. So if I can see the rear window centered in the mirror normally, when I dim the mirror, I can only see about half the rear window, and I have to adjust the mirror.

Pretty weird. I've never had this problem in any of my other vehicles.
