Any tips to lubricate?

this question has been asked before, I will tell you of my experience (the clever silicon bods will as usual disagree )

got the car 5 years ago, mirror creaked on opening, sprayed WD40 (YES WD40) into the gap between top mirror part and lower part, it has NEVER creaked since, or even needed a top up spray 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

I plead guilty I never knew that they had to be done, so gave them a spray this morning after giving it a wash

. . . and don't you have to provide your own bricks?

And keep your thumbs out of the way,otherwise it comes a bit sharp.

Not only has surgery changed dramatically in 30 years but also intensive care and anaesthetics.

had mine done under general anesthetic (yes I know wimp) later the stitches went septic
Anyway I had to go into work with a further sick note, in the canteen chatting with the lads and my young son (who was about 3 or 4 years old) tried to get my attention without success. He then punched me in the balls - I woke up some time later  Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

A bit much when all you want to do is lubricate your wing mirrors

anyway,back to wd 40!.the problem with wd 40 is it will attract dust.we used to lub steering locks on new cars if they became stiff,but 3 months later they would become stiff again,so we sent the locks back under warranty,the warranty was declined every time because of wd40
