Mirror Making Weird Sounds When Car In Reverse

When I put my car in reverse the automatic tilt in the side view mirror is making some weird sounds. Sometimes it struggles to tilt down and other times it won't tilt at all. This is really bugging me. HELP!!

The next time you are stopped in the TL for a couple of minutes, turn each mirror to the limit of its travel in each direction, then return it to the preset position.
See if that clears up the problem.
If not, the mirror actuator(s) will need replacement; there is a TSB on the problem and it should be covered under warranty for your year.

Thanks man. I may be out of warranty. I'm over the 60k mile mark. I will try though. Do you have a link to the TSB?
