I am mirroring a sheet metal part, and the corner relief in the flat patterns do not match. How can I rectify this? Both are set to "tear" as the auto-relief option under the Sheet-Metal feature.

Okay I've added a reply with the parts attached. But yeah, that's the point is that they look a lot different. They shouldn't.

I'll assume you meant you're mirroring a feature, not a part, so which feature are you trying to mirror.
Not everything can be mirrored. And not everything that can be mirrored can be mirrored well.
But as Ned Hutchinson posted, please upload you part if possible.
If not, upload a dummy part that has the problem in it,
Failing that, at least post some screen shots (which include the tree in the view at a legible resolution).
Instead of morroring, can the feature be duplicated within one command (like is done w/edge flanges)?
Can you duplicate the feature by adding it again and then link the values to the first feature in the equations dialog?
Cheers,
Kevin
I will upload the part, but I did mean mirroring a part, NOT a feature.
Here are some dummy versions of the parts.
Un check box in both parts
Haha, okay I should have been more clear. I don't want the tear to show in the flat. But at least with your solution they both match! Thanks for the help.
attach part
