A bit off topic, (pet peeve alert) but why do people say "I am sure" when they really mean. "I think" or more exactly "I really don't know"??

If you have a mirror control that looks like this...

how to move the mirrors-c05cf8a5-009f-4d09-9431-89ef2578c849.jpg

then you have power folding mirrors. Since you said they can fold, I'm assuming you've already folded them manual which isn't possible if power folding. You can get the internals to convert your mirrors to power fold, but you'll also need the mirror switch above.

Part #

Hope that helps.

P.S. Oem motor internal assemblies can be an upwards of $900 USD for a pair. The switch can be had for $150 USD.
