Mirrors acting up

My mirrors started making clicking noise when I put my car in reverse especially the right one, today it went up and didnt go down at all instead of going down... do I have to replace the mirror or fix it any Idea, I have been having this since I bought the car 2 years ago and now Im tired of it.

Does that apply to me too? Mine start clicking and moving partially when going into reverse, but also sometimes when I hit unlock on my FOB, even before I put the key in.

Also, when I adjust them manually, they move perfectly!
