Squeaky Powerfold Door Mirror

The passenger door mirror has taken to squeaking when folding in. Is this purely a lubrication requirement, and if so, what kind, or an audible indication of future failure ? LR2 SD4 GS

It could be just that it could be on the way out but try extending it fully both ways and squirt a load silicon based lubricant not WD 40 and it may well improve Thumbs Up

You need to spray it with GT85.
