Powerfold mirrors

My car has powerfold mirrors, and I have noticed recently that they do not fold smoothly, but in jerks, as though something is sticking. Is there a way of lubricating them?

Thanks in advence,

Nigel.

Is there any way to let them close when you lock the doors?

Mine act strange Confused After folding them several times the n/s mirror needs adjusting downwards. It's a wonder they work at all as Faultmate reports mirror motors siezed Shocked Faultmate MSV2 EXTREME
