I think it’s push them forwards from the normal position to reveal the gearing. Spray with lube. Spring them back. What I do so hope that’s right Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Have used silicone spray but dry ptfe sounds better as it won't drip down door Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I bought some dry ptfe but got it all over the mirror and then had trouble getting it off. Binned it. Possibly wrong stuff or operator error to be fair.
