Squeaky folding mirror
I have a squeaky folding passenger mirror in my 2019 F-350 CCLB. I have tried lithium grease, silicone grease WD-40. I have cleaned it with soap and water, washed it out with water. Anyone have a remedy??? Driving me nuts!

Silicone spray worked for me, but it took about 3 long treatments while I was folding the mirror in and out 3 times - stopped making noise about the end of 2nd cycle. That was at about 40k miles and 18 months. Did it again last year before it started again at 80k miles and 5 years. Still good 10k later. I operate them about every other week at least once.

Updated: Obtained WD-40 silicone spray... followed John D333 approach... and success... squeaky noise gone. Thx again.

Both top and bottom section of folding arms... all angles... stick that straw in all tiny crevasses and spray liberally. Then move mirrors in and out a few times and do it again. I had to move mirrors in and out a dozen times... then it all squeaking stopped. Note.... recommend having some damp paper towels as excess will streak down onto door paint... just be ready... after a few wipes it'll stop dripping.
