Known issue with drying lubrication on the motors/gears.  It gets stuck.  You can diy it and use a ceramic grease.

I think there are a few that have had it if you use the search options.

I found that a refresh of the Seat position & mirror settings some times also cures this....
IE, reset your chosen mirror position when in Going forwards gear/park, then save the seat & mirror settings to a seat memory position again.... it may well remind the mirror to return to the correct travelling position when leaving reverse & going into Drive/Park.
