telescoping mirror problem

On my 2011 the mirrors are often failing to telescope in and out and also not wanting to fold. They will operate with a little push. What can be done to fix this problem?

My passenger side mirror was doing this on my 08....Pretty sure it was seized up from all the winter crap and salt on the roads. I sprayed Krown rust check oil in all the joints and moving parts of both mirrors, tilted mirror glass both directions to make sure i got it in there, and i mean sprayed alot..maybe to much as the next several days it was running down my doors and spraying all over the side of the truck when i drove. However it did the trick and both work fine now.
