Fold wing mirrors

How do you fold in the wing mirrors ? Mine seem really stiff as though they will break if forced ?

I have electric ones so I just press a button. Are you sure yours aren't electric?

I believe like the 128/135 you have to press a little bit to get the folding joints to move. They should move fairly easy, not sure why yours seem "stiff".

Do you have the manual or electric ones. For the electric there is a little button near the adjustment area.

Just give 'r - I too felt like I had to push a little too hard.

It helps if you apply the force angled slightly upward toward the top, far corner of the window.
