2017 VW Tiguan drivers mirror issue

Hello

I know this is a forum for Transporters, but I've seen that some folk on here have had the same issue with the drivers wing mirror that I'm having with my 2017 Tiguan.

When I lock the car the drivers mirror doesn't fold in. If I use the fold icon on the mirror console both fold as normal, although the drivers is slightly slower.

Googled it and the common suggestions are;
Try holding it to bring it into sync (you hear a loud click)
Try lowering/closing the window and holding to reset comfort setting.

The battery hasn't been disconnected so I know that's part of the issue.
I bought the car from the company I work for and it had had a bit bump on the drivers door (which I got repaired) so I'm wondering if maybe it caused some damage to the actuator/wiring/module.
I took it to a VW garage and they claimed it's the door actuator that's faulty and wanted £500 to sort it. No chance.

Just wondering if anyone else has managed another work around 🤔

I've bought an actuator and door panel removal kit off ebay just in case 😉

Cheers
Col
