I have this problem all the time. People's explanation is that the gears aren't well made and strip so the mirrors fail at tilting all together eventually but start by not returning to the correct position . . . ever (for me at least). The fix? People either replace the whole housing with gears or take it apart and replace the gears inside.
If you want to or care about it, I would open the mirror assembly up and replace the gears and when you put the mirror back together, use the newer, direct fit covers with turn signals on them.

I agree that the work around is to stop using them. My question is, why would Lexus half *** something like this? If those gears weren't made for use on a regular basis, then don't give the ability to fold the mirror in at least.

I was just discussing with a coworker yesterday how we could both fix any issue with our first cars ourselves. Now you open a hood and everything is hidden under plastic.

Exactly. My mirrors are pointing a different angle everyday. I never know what I'll be looking at when I get in to drive to work every morning.
