Update: I took apart my mirror as you showed. I was trying to open the gear mechanism and eventually I kept hitting the fold button. After a few presses it clicked into place and it's worked perfectly since. I didn't have to replace anything.
In my case, the douche bag folded my mirror by hand not knowing it was electric. I think if it is folded in the wrong direction it breaks what you showed.
From my understanding, these mirrors were meant to go in the wrong direction for just that reason. I've had mine pushed in the worn direction a few times. I snap it back in place then power close it and it snaps into the correct position. If I can be of any help just email me at sheldoncjohnson@yahoo.com.

Thank you very much!
Some douche bag pushed my mirror in the opposite direction. I will open it up and see whats broken.
Fucking kids. Work hard and you can get an E38/E39 too.
