Default mirror housing question

does anyone know if the mirrors can be folded inwards, say, for overnight street parking? i tried to shift them but it feels fairly heavy so i stopped.

yes. mine fold on my 07 rx 350. remember to re-seat them properly when you unfold them, or else your motors to tilt your mirrors down when you put the vehicle in reverse will not work properly

I did not know that these folded. Do they? Nothing mentioned on the manual, or did I miss?

it's nothing special, just helps when parking in tight spot and need to fold the mirrors so
it won't stick out and some idiot accidentally drive by and knocks it off
