ELECTRONIC FOLD IN MIRRORS
 
so when i hit the button to fold in the mirrors the mirrors fold in then fold out right away. this happens everytime. any ideas?

They are not folding all the way and therefore fold back out.

Clean and oil then try again.

the look like they fold all the way in, but then immediately fold out

I had the same problem and apparently it's common. If you search the forum there are others that mention it. There is some switch that isn't being engadged properly.
Mine was still under warranty so I had the dealership check it out and they replaced the motors on both side.

or something is loose/stuck inside... do a "search" and you will surely find it, or do we have an article on how to open the side mirrors? Check also the Articles page... tons of info...
