Exclamation Side mirror folding engine is not working

Hi all. I got a SL350 2010 ( r230). One of the side mirror was not folding properly. I needed to help with my hands to fold it . Now , both sides aren't working. Do you guys have had this problem before? The mechanic said I need to replace these engines but not sure if its possible to buy these parts separately . Any idea?
Thank you all for the attention .

Ricardo

You must not be in the USA - this feature was not available here. Canada maybe?

Im in Brazil .
I was told I need to buy the parts 2308101576 and 2308101676 but they are the complete set and I only need the folding motor . Any idea if I can buy or fix the motors? They still working but have no power to fold the side mirrors. So strange that both sides got the same problem .
I assume I dont use my car so often so maybe it happened because the car battery was not recharged enought so the folding motors needed to work so hard to do their job.

It is odd that both sides failed at the same time. I'd probably dig in with a voltmeter to verify it's not a wiring problem.
