PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Manually folding the mirror may cause the mirror and the motor to become out of sync.

The power mirror drive has detents in the drive hub that lock the mirror to the drive system. This system is designed to let the drive hub disconnect without damage through manual input to the mirror. This mechanism allows the mirrors to be folded by power but still have the break-a-way feature if contacted accidentally.

Correction
There are no replacement parts necessary to correct this condition. The mirrors will self-synchronize by following the procedure below. Once synchronized, the mirrors will function properly unless folded manually.


Important
Prior to replacing a mirror, attempt to electrically fold and unfold the mirrors a minimum of 3 cycles.


Set the power mirror selector switch to the center position. You will see the mirror directional control switch illuminate the power folding symbol.
Press the right or left side of the directional control to fold or unfold the mirrors.
Cycle the mirrors open and closed 3 times. The mirrors should now operate normally.[/list]
