None. Sold the last one and never looking back.
Passenger Mirror Curb-Tilt Feature Struggling

I was unaware that the Curb-Tilt Feature didn't work unless you have that mirror selected on the panel. Thanks to searching this forum, I found that out. Thank you.

My question: it seems like the mirror is struggling to move. Is there something I should do to clean it up or lube something?

Thank you!

Correction: it seemed like it was struggling because it was hitting the inner limit and kept trying to go in, THEN down. I followed the directions to reprogram the tilt position and all works well. I still squirted some WD-40 around back there and everything's as it should be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glad it's sorted. Just so you are aware, while WD40 is amazing, it isn't a lubricant per se. It's more of a penetrant. For that application, anything on a motor or cable would be better with lithium grease.
