Automatic Folding Mirrors Malfunction

So I just purchased my 2012 C63 Coupe yesterday and the automatic folding mirrors were working just fine. Overnight was pretty cold (-25 degrees) and I left the car in my driveway. When I unfolded them today, the driver side mirror unfolded normally, but the passenger side went way beyond the normal point.

Any thoughts? Is there a way to reset the mirror functions? The car is still under warranty so I'm not concerned, but if I can fix it myself, it'll save me a trip!

Common problem with the folding mirrors. Something inside the mirror froze the motor and now it's malfunctioning. Take it to the dealer, you'll probably get a new motor for it.

Was hoping it would fix itself when it gets warm

I turn this feature off during winter month just because they are plastic and can broke when iced up.

There should be a middle button in between the left and right side mirror button. This middle button will fold the mirrors. Mine has the setting where everytime I lock the doors, they fold automatically..
