Exclamation Side mirrors fold BOTH ways
So I folded my mirrors in for a wash. After the car wash, my mirrors were folded out instead of in.

Umm, is this okay if it always happens? The lane watch cam still works...

probably not, if folded outward by the brushes how about you just fold outward next time?

or just handwash..

They are designed to move both directions. No problems.

Thanks! I did see that some Civics have this as well but I didn't find any info on the Fits.

The only reason why those mirrors fold out is to provide some leeway when a passing car hits it such that the mirrors don't break off. Very useful in tight urban parking situations.
