Hi,
My FL2 power side mirrors are not folding smoothly. I think they just need lubrication. I need advice on how to open the mirror cover to get to the mechanism in order to properly lubricate them. Anybody done that :Thanks,Frans 2008 FL 2 TD4 SE A/T

Hi Frans, it does happen on occasions and there seems to be no reason for it. The first time it happened with mine was 1 week from new, the drivers side mirror tried to close but refused, I tried to reset it by pushing/pulling as in the manual but no good and the next day it was OK and has never happened since

Apparently it says from time to time you must forcibly push and pull the mirror away from it's operating travel a few times to get the lubrication working again. You won't break it and afterwards just let it click back into place, you can also use a silicone spray between the 'faces' if need be but there shouldn't be a need to dismantle it.

Mine were creaking a bit when i bought it. The lovely chaps on here had suggested the spray to someone else so i bought some. I just sprayed as far into the 'workings' of it as i could and it's fine now  59 TD4e XS in galway green

use silicone spray and not WD40.

Remember to rinse the dirt out when washing and then a quick sparay of Halfords finest silicone!

That is my problem!How do you rinse it out.....pressurewasher Or do you open it Seems as the bottom can come off,not sure how and I don't want to break it  2008 FL 2 TD4 SE A/T

No-one on here has mentioned having to take it apart for this, grab hold of it and give it a good push then pull, you won't break it as you will feel it click back to its correct position.
LR recommend this to gather the grease that has moved to the ends of travel.
