    i suppose they messed up the gears or motor shaft, resulting in pre mature failure.

    Isn't that just a folding mirror? Designed to manually fold? What sound does that make

    no its power folding mirror. Left side mirror is perfect its not making any sound. but the right side mirror which has been fold manually is making an extra sound than the regular sound.

    If it's a 2014 model, it's under warranty. Get a new one for free

    yes they will give you a new one for free. The one you have now is defective. Just don't mention someone folded it manually ;)

    He means the glass itself and not the mirror housing. Do like mentioned before and take it in. It's a little unethical, but it will work.
