Default Rear door windows and mirror folding question

In your defender 110 or 130, how low do the rear windows go? In my '26, the passenger side sticks about 1.5" above the door line and the driver's side goes down almost all the way down into the rear door.

And the auto-fold of the exterior rear view mirrors, any way to disable this when locking the car or only with an OBD tool?

I believe there is a setting in the PiviPro to control if the mirrors fold when locking or not. I can't recall the rear window height when all the way down - I don't believe they go all the way down.

The rear windows do not go all the way down. And yes there is a way you can disable the auto folding mirrors when locking the car. I had the dealer do it on mine. Perhaps someone with an OBD tool can chime in for instructions.

There is no setting in Pivi Pro to disable the folding of the exterior mirrors; however there is a setting in Pivi to lower the mirrors when reversing.

I found the setting only for the tilt-on-reverse. No auto-folding on/off option.... as for the rear windows I found it strange they park at the fully open position at different heights.

But only if you have memory seats. My 90 has manual seats, so no memory settings, and the mirror dip on reverse is linked to the memory seat feature.

If no options are available in the menu, you can only use an OBD tool to disable the mirror-folding function.
Change "MULTICAN 703 (mirrors)"And"EUCD 085 retractable mirrors yes/no"

You could try manually pushing the window glass down—that’s what I did—and then simply operating the switch a few times; that should get it working normally again. However, I still recommend contacting the dealership to handle it, since it’s covered under warranty.

Not going to solve your issue but when I first got my 2020 Defender X, long ago, the very first thing I noticed (and took it back to the dealer for with another warranty repair) was one rear window rolling down about 1/2” more than the other. They said “normal”, didn’t fix it, which irritated me, and I forgot all about it.

I will be requesting those features on/off states to be changed on my next (and first) service visit. I'll try pushing down the window at the back doors if the dealer can't solve it under warranty. It doesn't bother me much but it got my attention because both rear doors should be the same if it's by design, but one glass sticks a bit further up than the other when they're all the way down.
