Side view mirror is squeaky!

When I approach or move away from the car and the side view mirror is coming in or out, it sounds like an old door in a haunted house. Anyone else have this? I’d be happy to grease it but I don’t even know where to apply it.

Right now it’s just the drivers side.

Thanks!

That's a warranty issue. Take it to the dealer so you don't have to worry about it too much.

Same issue after the sensor on the passenger side mirror got replaced at the dealership.

Same issue, but I took it to the dealership and they fixed it. So far it has not resurfaced….

Just noticed this today for the first time as the weather is getting warmer.

I assume others got this fixed at their dealers like digriz ?

Alas, mine has resurfaced. It seems that humidity/rain/dust and combination thereof cause the squeak to reappear. To me, it sounds like a metal-on-metal noise.

It's possible that when I asked the dealership to fix it, they just lubricated the joint, and now it seems like a more permanent solution is needed...
