When folding my electric mirrors in or out the drivers door mirror takes a lot longer than the passenger door mirror. It appears to struggle whilst doing this. Is this something i can lubricate, or will i need to replace the motor? Either way does anybody have any documentation on how to take this apart?

Its a common problem. I used some WD40 lubricant type spray and dowsed the interior of the mirror mechanism through the gap when the mirror is folded. Worked it back and forth for a few mins and it was fine from there on.
Mine was so bad that it wouldn't actually make it to fully folded and needed a hand to open again, but this revived it.
