During the last month driver side mirror started acting funny. Takes by far longer to fold or unfold compared to the passenger mirror. Some dose of WD40 helps but in a few days goes back to the 'slow' mode. It looks like something causes resistance. Is it a way I can open and clean the mechanism, or shall I ask for a new one under warranty. Of course may be for Land Rover is stll working, slower but working. |

Don't use WD-40 as a lube - it is designed to remove moisture etc...

Do take note that YOM 2009 & 2010 onwards the side mirror are slightly difference the latter is bigger in dimension. As for whether WD40 helps in resolving the squeaking noise? Is a yes & the mirror didn't die on me. Here is the pictures : No tools are required for this job, Just grip with some force & pull towards you.

For some reason my MY10 HSE has the old style one piece black mirrors, ie not the ones in the above post with the removable caps. So check before you follow the instructions! FYI my near side mirror had broken into two pieces and could not be fixed....hence a replacement Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
