good news , last night i sprayed nearly a little bottle of wd-40 to my drivers side mirror....

today there is no sound , it's like a quality car with folding mirrors(bmw ,merc)..yes no sound..only a folding motor sound that makes you smile ...
my advice is get 2 little spray of wd-40..... spray each bottle to each mirror =)

My passenger side mirror does not always fold all the way up, I will take it in to the dealer I think.

I have had both mine replaced under warranty, there seems to be two faults with the electric mirrors, the first is they do not fold all the way up and secondly the grating noise on folding. control unit is replaced for first fault (both of mine) and motor assembly for second fault nearside replaced for this. Slight squeaking is a lube job carried out by workshop.

I have the same issue, passenger side sometimes refused to fold all the way up and the driver side squeaks like mad!!! >_<"


Gonna take it to the dealer when I have time.



BTW, the Leon mirrors ain't that robust....... in my old Mk 2 Sport, I clipped my passenger side mirror against some lady's car (stupid cow drove too close to my car when she was passing).
Externally there were only a few scratches, however after folding close, it didn't open again.

The problem about the mirrors are there's no leeway (no give) if you clip something with it....... some cars have mirrors that spring in..... the mirrors on the Leon don't......


These days I'm doubley careful when driving down narrow parked up roads and through width restricters.......
