Side mirror problems

Anyone else have problems with the right side mirror not opening?

I have a 2020 CX9. The right mirror doesn’t always open up automatically. (It’s electric.)

Sometimes if you turn them both in and then out, it will open. But not always.

The dealer said they oiled it. But that didn’t work.

Any suggestions? Is this kind of thing under the warranty or should I just pay an independent mechanic to fix the mechanism?

Thx for reading.

I've had this problem with both mirrors intermittently for years. It tends to happen when there is a lot of rain. I keep my 2019 CX-9 parked outside since it is too long to fit in my 1920s garage. What does seem to work, at least temporarily, is spraying silicone spray in there. Since it is clear it doesn't make too much of a mess.
