Today the right mirror did not unfold for second time. From the button for folding/unfolding managed to fully unfold on the second try. Anyone with such thing? I'm thinking of some silicone spray in the base of the hinge...

Well, it's not caused by an accident. If it happens again, I'll visit the dealer, requesting repair under warranty. 
 Washed it with water and so far no issues.

A. My insurance policy covers any kind of damage by any reason by any person all exterior lights, mirrors and glasses. 
So BTW, hom much do you pay for insurance for your car and what does it covers? 
Shall we open a new topic? Since we are here from all winds it can be very interesting...

I have the same issue, but it is getting worse.

Now the mirror most often does not open without someone standing outside the car and gently pulling the mirror as the motor struggles to open it.
(my neighbours are having a few laughs when they see this).

I think the motors are just underpowered.

It will be replaced under warranty but I have to wait a few weeks for a new mirror to be ordered.

Unfortunately the mirrors always close when I lock the car so I have this issue very frequently :(

That's why I do not prefer to have auto folding mirrors. Mostly I do not fold them, when I need to do so, there is a button which works perfectly.
And BTW, it is not a problem in underpowered motor... It is problem in sprocket aka gear transmission of folding mechanisem.
