Hey,

So this morning it was quite frosty and when coming to switching my car on the driver side mirror unfolded fine but the passenger side stayed in place. I was rushing so just pulled it into position.

The passenger side no longer folds, but you can hear the motor working/ when using the fold function. I folded it all the way up then pressed the fold button and it moved about 15% of the way.

It’s a 2012 Leon 1.6 COPA economitive diesel.

Would appreciate any advice or ideas !

I had the issue where mine would go up but one didn't always come down mainly because of the weather. What I did was put it into the up position and it makes a gap for you to blast some Wd40 or grease up it, forced it back down and did a few folds to get it moving around.
