F=MA
Force
Mass
Acceleration
The heavier mirror would only require longer to move to its resting position at the chosen speed. The force from drag will be a relative constant. The mass will be constant for each mirror. So the only change will be the acceleration rate. Weight is a factor, but if you wait for things to settle out it will be accurate.
I do agree about finding a more convenient test. Julian had a sunroof available. I don't and unless I make a fixture or hang out the window it's not really an option. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions as far as an easier test.
