Reverse Mirrors Sticking

Alright, so no problems till I actually got down here, but now the reverse mirror function on the passenger side of the car is messed up. It rotates down just fine, but when I put it in drive, it doesn't come back up. The thing that really gets me is that I can use the manual control to bring it back up, seemingly without a problem. I have the "Reverse Mirror" function turned off for the time being, so its obviously not really a big deal, but parking in my appt complex sucks and those mirrors really helped...

I leave mine off as well. I don't see a need for using them though they are a cool feature.

Here's a little known "feature." If you have the reverse mirror turned off you can still use it, place thhe car in reverse and manually tiolt the mirrors where you want them to be and back up, when you put the car in drive the mirrors will return to their proper settings.

hmm, interesting. Ill have the give that a try before I leave the airport tonight...

After further inspection, when manually raising the mirrors, you have to hold the button for a little while before the mirrors start to return to their starting position, almost as if they were sticking. If I take the puddle lamp off of the mirror housing, is there anyway that I can get to the mechanisms to lubricate them or something??
