When I put them back up the left comes up as high as the right and I have to readjust the left one.

My manual also mentions the option for AUTO tilting of mirros when reverse selected, and then going back to the original position. This would save me from realising that they are pointing down when I go make a fast lane change after leaving the shopping centre.

Anyone know how to activate this freature ??
From memory, the manual also says that this a feature on cars equiped with power seats (and the upgraded comfort module - think driver memory).

And yes, GTI's have heated mirrors and they work really well. In Australia, they're wired to the rear defroster switch. In some countries, the heated element is activated from the mirror joystick.

If yours don't get hot after a few minutes, the elements may be dead.
