Question SC430 mirror madness

Greetings SC430 fans. I have a 2007 SC430 with exterior mirror problems. I have searched this forum but have not found a specific answer to my issue. When I drive the car my mirrors change their position. I adjust the mirrors to my preferred setting while in park or neutral, I save the settings, get the beep, put the mirror control switch to it's center position and drive. Shortly after I start driving I notice the mirrors, drivers side mostly, will be pointing to a different angle. This is a repeating issue that happens virtually every time I use the car. If I readjust while driving, the mirrors are fine for the duration of the trip, but will again change the next time I go driving. Any idea what I can check or replace to solve this? Thanks all. Paul

I have a 2007 and mine does that also but I thought I just needed to save the seat setting again.

here is a thought...disconnect your battery for a few minutes, reconnect, do the seat calibration...all the way forward then all the way back, then set the mirrors and save the seat setting on the door.

I did not know that you can set memory for the mirrors. How? It's not the seats setting, isn't it?

From the 2007 owners manual.
