Oh how I wish. I tried many variations of this trick too in the past but none worked. I tried this Volvo mirror trick just now in the garage multiple times. The other issue with my Explorer mirror is that seems to want to keep trying to pull the mirror past its closing point as well. I'm betting the gearing will shear off on ours soon and we'll have to replace the gear.
I also had a 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan back in the day that this same problem started happening on. Also couldn't get the mirror to right itself with all of the tricks. Eventually the plastic mirror gears stripped and it stopped working completely. I remember spending about $2 or $3 for the plastic gear from China on eBay. Part came and I took the side mirror assembly for that car apart to install on my dining room table. Took 4 hours and there were over 40 screws (some near jewelry/watch/glasses size!) Very laborious but I was able to fix the whole thing.
One other trick I didn't consider was maybe doing a battery cable pull and resetting the electronics of the vehicle? That might reset the memory position for the mirror?
