Powerfold mirrors
My car has powerfold mirrors, and I have noticed recently that they do not fold smoothly, but in jerks, as though something is sticking. Is there a way of lubricating them?
Thanks in advence,
Nigel.

Yip....
I used some bike chain spray (but I would imagine anything with teflon in will doo), squirted around the hinge joint quite a bit, both in closed and open .... hey presto all back smooth again Still miss my D3
Is there any way to let them close when you lock the doors?

Mine act strange After folding them several times the n/s mirror needs adjusting downwards. It's a wonder they work at all as Faultmate reports mirror motors siezed Faultmate MSV2 EXTREME
