Mirrors Stick

Have a 2022 Lariat HD. Do the mirrors on these things need periodic lubrication? Mine tend to stick occasionally, generally not closing, but occasionally not opening . At first I thought it was cold temps but it does it in warm weather too. Both sides will do it randomly, no set patterns.

Mine started sticking too after I moved to the beach. IDK, maybe I'll try flushing it with a water jet, then spray in some white lithium or WD40?

OK, I did some research. The motor and gears that do the work are well buried inside the housing. Be prepared to spend four hours, more or less, to access them and lube them with a dry lube.

A after market replacement mirror can be had starting at $450 bucks or so: https://boostautoparts.com/products/...-2017?options=

Or shop EBAY and pay about $125- $500. Or Amazon at $250 ea. or less:
Amazon Amazon

Replacement motor and gear can be found for under $100.

I haven’t had a problem with mine but I hit the moving joints with a silicone spray a few times a year.

I just spray the moving joints with a squirt and then run them in and out a few times and fold them in and out a few times. I don’t soak them.

2021 F350 and I do the same a few times a year. Also, hit the running board joints too. No problems at all.
