Attempt #2 and success! I fixed my folding mirrors problem. Mine would fold in and fold right back out. I could not for the life of me open up the drivers side mirror so I moved to the passenger side. After about 5 minutes of fiddling around I was able to open it up. Took off the cover for the micros with and the little silver metal clip that activates said micros with was loose and rattling around in the mirror housing. I used pliers to squeeze it tighter and reassembled onto the switch. Vodka! Haha voila*, and the mirrors work like they should.
Bit of advice for anyone trying. Start at the bottom of the mirror closest to the vehicle. Insert a small flat screwdriver and sort of twist it gently til it gives a little. There is another clip ok the outside edge middle, repeat. And three more clips along the top. Patience is key. I used a thin piece of paper like cardboard between the painted mirror cap and my screw driver to avoid damage. Good luck!

Edit: took a closer look at my mirrors, passenger side folds in about and inch more than drivers side. I'm not too worried though, more of a hassle to open the casing than the reward is worth
