Folding mirror jerky and sometimes won't unfold

Post by smilie121 »

Sometimes the folding mirrors are jerky to unfold. Mostly when first unlocked. Maybe the cold?

On 3 occasions the drivers side has failed to unfold.

I see plenty of similar issues online with older models which can be re lubricated but the B8 has the same new folding mirror as the Audi

Apart from removing completely is there any suggestions? Apart from trying to spray silicon lube into where i can
