Power side mirror "jumps" when folding
Hello everybody!
A few days ago a problem appeared on the left power folding side mirror. When folding or unfolding it, the movement is not smooth, but broken in some "jumps". I searched to find a solution, but what I found by now is referring only at a small blocking pin. Also, I took out the back part of the mirror, trying to clean & lubricate the rotation shaft with some WD40, but it didn't work - the mirror is still jumping. Does anybody met this problem? Any advice how to clean, lubricate or fix it? Regards, Stefan |

My suggestion would be NOT to use WD-40 on exterior parts, it will cause dirt and dust to be more attracted to it. Use white litium grease. As for the jumping, if its gear driven maybe some teeth broke off if someone pushed it beyond its limits? I am not exactly sure.

Too late... I already used WD-40 on inside parts and it leaked out on the door. I hope will not affect the paint.
I don't know, but as I know, nobody pushed it beyond the limits. Still waiting for other suggestions. |

I know other brands offer similar products, so I am not trying to promote WD-40 for any particular purpose, but simply from my own experience |
