too fold or not?
Hello I have a new Belanger equipped tunnel and was wondering how many operators fold in the customers mirrors. I am tired of trying too fold in a mirror and it falls of in your hand. also do you remove antenna's? this too breaks off when we try and remove them (rust).
Thanks Shawn

We do not remove any antenna or fold in mirrors. I was wondering why are you doing this in the first place. Did you have problems with the mirrors and antennas getting damaged or did you just do this from the beginning?
I have a client (and business partner) in the midwest that has a mini-tunnel equipped with MacNeil's fully articulating super-flex wraps with Envirosoft foam cleaning material. This wash is totally unattended (e.g. mirrors are never pulled back) and, to my best knowledge, I do not believe that he has lost a single side mirror.
I have neoglide wraps (less aggressive) but also use extra computer signals to have wraps extend for the front of the vehicle, then retract, then extend on the rear 1/2 of the vehicle...I try to get the wheels as much as possible. Using extra functions allows me to not fold in mirrors(execpt the largest) and not worry about antennas except non-functioning electrics.
I'm able to give my wraps more air pressure while operating...they will overlap on the rear of every vehicle. So I don't have to prep the rear of any vehicles either.
Thanks our new policy is not to remove antenna's. If the customer insist we remove it then we tell them they will have to remove it. We will only fold in large mirrors.
Thanks Shawn.
