The standard (not power folding) mirrors can be folded manually. Press straight back on the outer edge of the mirror housing. It takes about 20-25lbs. (10 kilos) of direct force. Once you get "through" the detent, the mirror should rotate very easily. It does take a "serious" push to get them to move at first. I hold on with both hands so as to not spin the mirror too fast once it starts to move. The mirror housings will fold back about 35 degrees. They won't fold far enough to touch the windows.

Don't be afraid of hurting anything. the mirror is designed to fold, just not by itself.

If pressing very firmly doesn't fold the mirrors, you can always try hitting the mirror housing with a 4lb. Engineering hammer.
That will certainly do it. JUST KIDDING!
