Folding the door mirrors - how?

Featured Replies

Can anyone offer any suggestions about how I can fold the mirrors in?

I've read the handbook on how to operate the switches if they are fitted, and read the info on here about getting them to work - however absolutely nothing happens, and there's no sign of any motors clunking or trying to work, like is suggested in some posts. Therefore I'm assuming it's not fitted with the facility. (The electric operation of the glass works normally.)

I'm not overly bothered about that, as long as I can fold them in by hand, as I sometimes have to squeeze in narrow spaces. 

Trouble is, they seen absolutely stuck fast, and don't seem to want want move.  I'm reluctant to try and force them in case I break them!

On my last car, they just pushed in easily by hand - any tips on how to get mine to move?

Many thanks!

 

 


The metal they're made from is extremely reactive with water and corrodes rapidly.

Standard routine is to squirt WD40 into the rotating joint and gradually start working the mirror backwards and forwards, adding more wd40 then oil, until they move freely.

Once you can move them by hand, if they are powered, they will work from the switch.
