Hi all, 

 

I usually have my mirrors folding on lock/unlock but have disabled this in the menu for now as it's been below zero for the last few mornings. 

 

But, could the folding mirror mechanism be damaged if the gap between lower and upper part freezes and the motor cannot then move it?, I wondered the motor would have a current overload protection circuit, to know if it's using more energy to stop it trying further? 

 

 

Not a direct answer but my experience: am using folding mirrors from 05/2017 all the year since Octy was new- no problems.
Am not using any cleaner, de-frosting spray or silicone. Just grab away snow or ice in gap between mirror and door front frame.
0...-10*C in Latvia's winter in general, rare -15...-20*C, very rare below -20*C.
