Cold weather and moisture is definitely not friendly for folding mirrors.

The wiper mode is so that you can lift them off of the windshield so that brushing snow off when returning to your parked car is a little easier.

There is no official way to diasable auto folding mirrors while locking or unlocking. You can disable the folding mirrors all together, but then, they will not fold in when you press the mirror buttons. So, currently it is all or nothing. I may have found a setting that finally will disable the folding during locking. I will report back after i test on mine
