Default Dumb Question

I'll probably get some flack, as I should know the answer, but can find nothing in the manual. Does it hurt anything if the side view mirrors are closed against the doors when the car is not being used. I have a car cover from an older vette that I had and it will fit the C7 if I leave the mirrors closed. Thanks.

Since C5 mirrors were so bad about falling off, I have been afraid to move mine.
