Side view mirror problem

Please help. My driver side view mirror every time I unlock the car with my key fob and go to open the door the car sets my driver seat memory setting and my side view mirror every time goes all the way up and starts popping once it reaches the top and keeps trying to go up. I hope someone else knows what I’m talking about or someone knows a fix. (I hope the video attached works)

Been there, done this -> 3G mirror repair with pictures!! 3G Garage #E-045 I did this and it lasted many years. I need to do it again soon. I'd recommend Shin-Etsu silicone grease (every Honda/Acura owner needs a tube) instead of the stuff in the post. It's safe on plastic unlike many greases.

Other recommended reading ...Why we love Shin... https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...hiznit-745587/

Us older timers have seen it all....more than once. Probably no need to replace the actuators.
