Folding mirror squeaks
My car is about 10 months old and the other day I noticed that the passenger folding mirror makes a loud rubbing/squeaking noise when folding. I coded the car to autofold the mirrors so basically every time I drive it they're folding/unfolding.
Any DIY fixes or should I take it into the dealer? I'm scheduled for maintenance so I was planning on going anyway. |

I experienced the same issue with my 335i. I had nothing impeding the mirrors and my fix was to spray WD-40 White Lithium lubricant at the folding junction when fully opened, then again in the closed position. i used a rag behind the the spray point and then wiped up any over-spray or leakage from the junction. Cycled the mirrors 4-5 times and all has been good since (8 months). My guess is that over time with washing and rain the original lubricant failed.
