Does the folding mechanism need some careful lubrication - though be careful what you lubricate it with.

Folding mirrors have a small electric motor of the type fitted to toy's. Cleaning the commutator and brushes together with a drop of oil on the bearings usually restores performance. Whilst you're at it - clean the dried out grease from the gear system and re-lubricate.
