Folding Mirror Adjustment/Setting
I haven't paid much attention to the folding mirror settings on our DS since purchasing it, since they were in a good position, but I've recently had a couple tight situations where manually folding the mirrors would have been helpful. In both cases, the mirrors were not foldable by hand. After removing the main bolts in the arms, it became apparent that the mirrors had seized. After soaking both in lube for a few days, I was able to break both free, but now I'm wondering how to reset them.
Intuition tells me that I should apply some anti-seize to the folding arm mechanism, and tighten the bolts just enough that the arms don't move, but so I can still fold them by hand. Any reason I should not do this, and simply tighten them down?
Thoughts?
