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"

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Baltic Blue

Are the “gang” recommending any particular lube ?
My mirrors get folded many times just to get in and out of my garage on top of normal use.

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.

Is there a consensus on the best lube for this job?

My driver's side is creaking as it folds.
