2016 sedan left side driver mirror will not fold, but clicks.

Actuator $106 or motor. $280 is broken.
Given the price of the parts, I'd just leave them open.

Thank you, I seen a video earlier today where the gentleman replaced the folding gear himself. There was a lot involved with it and time. It had a plastic one, he replaced
it with a metal one.

This is common and an easy fix. The oem plastic drive gear is broken. The replacement part is metal. Search ebay for the gear, remove mirror, replace gear, etc. I have done this. Use a clean workbench.

Nice, thank you for the advice. It's a beautiful car to own.

Likely a stripped gear inside the mirror housing. The click is the motor trying but failing to move the mechanism. The plastic gears wear out. You'll probably need to replace the entire mirror assembly.

That video is excellent. The video might be longer than the repair. Don't start the job until you possess the new gear. Complete the job in one uninterrupted session. My plastic window trim was not cooperative, but a plastic trim clip removal tool and perseverance allowed me to avoid cracking the plastic trim. I did not need power tools. My mirror gear set had enough grease that there was plenty to share with the new gear.

Awesome, thank you. Will do,
