Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Jazz EX, when I operate the switch to close or open the wing mirrors they appear to be making a groaning sound, I have tried WD40 but don't appear to be hitting the spot.
Has anyone had the a similar problem and managed to resolve the issue?

Don't close the mirrors :o.
If WD40 is the answer it is the wrong question. Try some proper lubricant like GT85 (which contains PTFE = Teflon) - I used it on my wifes Jazz mirrors and everything fine.
WD40 should be marketed as a glue because it makes a good one when it dries out, and it attracts dirt like a dirt magnet.

Mine make a noise when opening and closing never thought about it just thought it was the motors. I close my mirrors every time I park and have done so for 30mths, the noise has not changed so assume it is just the mechanism.

Groaning noise will be dry plastic rubbing together, squirt of GT85 in the joint won't hurt.

Problem solved, perhaps WD40 needed a while to work its magic, thanks for advice guys ;)
