Default power pop up tow mirrors

hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has attempted making there tow mirrors power pop up/down for towing. so you dont have to walk around and flip them up. ive never taken mine apart, but was just wondering if its possible to make work.

possible...yes

pita i imagine yes.

very small electric motors on the mirror where the swivel is to turn them up is what i'd think. would require lots of trail and error i'd guess to get it working right and making it look factory and not pieced together.

i'd give you props to figure it out but i dont imagine its a simple backyard mechanic one day operation.

just seems like it'd be very complicated to get working right and still have the mirrors look original.

He's not talking about the glass being powered for movement, but the entire mirror to flip up to the tow position.
