Hi,

I wonder if your side mirror fold and unfold in same time?

On mine J11, driver side mirror, fold completely about 1 second after passenger side and I want to know if I can lubricating or sync them to fold/unfold in same time?

Thanks!

Be careful especially if you get cold weather in Romania as we do here, because the movement does slow down due to icing between the sliding / rotating faces. I use WD40 on the sliding faces but in the winter our mirrors stay out / open, no closing. OK if they are out there is the possibility of them being damaged but once you here the creaking of plastic when there is Ice you will understand and you are talking of a 1sec difference ๐Ÿคจ - better safe then sorry Dave ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks Dave.

I see when they are closed/folded the mechanism and I want to spray there with some grease but I don't want to grip them from dust.

Now I set them to open only when I start the engine and I clean before ice and snow but yes, is safe to turn them off during winter.
