Squeaky Outside Mirrors !?

ORIGIN M. · 07-24-2018, 01:25 AM

Do your mirror squeak when you fold them in?

Have you talked to your service department about it?

Have they acknowledged that they squeak and replaced them?

I have these... Only when hot!

Haven't been back to the stealers for a while, but I will mention it next time it goes in.

Thanks I appreciate the post.

Mine always squeak and moan.

Same here. Happens every time... never really bothered me

Bt12 · 07-24-2018, 05:10 AM

Mine is creaky.. so I spray some wheel shine or some lubrication on them

danm2 · 07-24-2018, 06:29 AM

Mine were doing this, washed the car and it's not come back since.

Interesting idea.

I might have to give this a try.

+1 for a solution. Coded folding mirrors on lock/unlock and it's almost painful to hear every time.

I always fold my mirror and yes I need to code them in.

I am going to fix this because it's unbearable.

Mine are coded to fold/unfold upon lock/unlock, and they don't squeak....

Well then you are not only blessed, but completely blessed.

I get this on mine every now and then. It hasn't happened recently though. From memory, it happens a lot during the colder months. Probably just needs a bit of grease/WD40!

Mine creak and I like it.

Back in the day, cars could go beep when you lock them, so as you walk away you didn't need to check.

Now I listed for the wing mirror noise as I walk away...

You can turn the beep on so those days are still here.

I prefer no sound at all.

I don't ever fold mine, so can't comment...but...

...seems like a completely sane and rational reason to drop some $$ and upgrade to M2C mirrors.

Now you've gone and done it.

Another reason to toss and turn at night.

I've definitely got some squeak going on as the wing mirrors fold in and out. Where on the mirror did you spray the lubricant?
