Mirror sound

[fmavila]

Hello everyone,

I'm almost at the end of the process of purchasing an MGS5. I was recently at the dealership and tested two Trophy version cars, which have folding mirrors that close automatically. I noticed a strange noise – an audible click on the driver's side when the mirror opens. In summary, when the mirror opens, it makes a fairly loud clicking sound. Both cars tested made the same noise.

Is this normal on your cars?

Thank you.

The MG mirrors definitely aren't the smoothest at folding, mine (MG4) made a sort of plastic scratching sound, rather than clicking. I sprayed some silicone spray in the gap, mainly on the rubber seal, and it's a lot smoother now.
