Side mirrors don't stay folded
I press the little button to fold the side mirrors. They fold but unfold right away. I checked the old posts on how to repair but most of the suggested links do not exist anymore. Can someone help? Thanks! Last edited by babyduke; 01-14-2016 at 11:17 AM.

Just pop it off at the seam. Need be careful. Really careful. Might help if it's inside - plastic a bit warmer. The clips on them are fairly fragile if not done slowly. I broke one clip and knew from then I need to slow down.....regardless, the cover snaps back and holds in place just fine with the 1 broken clip..

I know they won't fold if the car is in drive! Needs to be in park!

Actually, I think they will FOLD as long as it's under 10-8 mph.
I've squeezed through congested streets with double parked trucks....and no room with the mirror to squeeze through. Have def. folded them in to squeeze through. Can't recall if it I had had to brake but I'm pretty sure if you are at a snails pace, the system will let you engage them. The OP is more about it auto-retracting back out.

+1 on the micro switch - mine did that too - was the driver side switch (popped out of it's holder). Popped it back in and now both mirrors fold correctly.

a search will show you threads on how to remove the covers, where the microswitch is and how to fix/replace it.

Maybe I am thinking about reverse? I know I had the mirrors not wanting to retract when I had it in the garage last week or so..... I realized I had it in gear rather than park. Could have been in reverse when I was doing that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
