Sticking wing mirrors

(1/1)

Nickg:
Has anyone had what seems to be a Mazda trait - namely wing mirrors that do not open or close completely?
It seems to occur after washing with a pressure washer or after heavy rain.  YouTube is full of this specific Mazda problem.
Has the WD 40 trick worked for you as it did once for me but now, after the dealer gave his complementary wash both of them will not move more than half way open or closed.  A gentle help makes them work…. but…
Is it easy to remove the glass and if so does anyone have any tips to avoid damage.

Nickg:
As a followup. I found this thread.

For me from now on I’ll be washing the car with the mirrors folded. Plus I'll be VERY careful where I aim the pressure washer!
