Default Folding mirror failure

Anyone have issues with their mirrors folding? I started to notice that my drivers mirror takes an extra 2 seconds to finish folding than my passenger. Since I just started noticing it, I'm assuming that it never did it before and its some progressively getting worse.

My passenger side mirror stopped folding all together last year on my 2012 A6. I had it fixed under warranty. Believe it was the motor, but it sounded like they had to replace most of the assembly.

Sounds like it is dying....slowly. Should be a warranty fix!

My passenger mirror stopped folding, So after wrestling the cap/cover off of the mirror, It turned out to be a bad connection in the harness coming from the motor.
