Power folding mirrors work just like regular mirrors. if you bump them you can feel them kind of "cam off" of something and the resistance goes way down. That is both ways. If you bump them "folded" then its kind of like a garage door release, if you power fold the mirrors it will "catch up" to the position of the mirror and grab it, then it can fold it back. If its flipped forward you have to flip it back until it cams back into the regular position.

I have garage often crammed full, Ive bumped my power mirrors a ton of times and it all still works.
