Side Mirrors Too Tight to Adjust

Re: '91 Miata:



Maybe it one too many cold winters and hot summers.



It seems the side mirrors are resisting my efforts to adjust them, manually, with ease. Since there is no auto adjust, what should I do to adjust these? I am a bit afraid to force one of them not knowing it could potentially break the mehanism. I have stayed clear of spraying anything on them.


Try spraying the base with a silicone based lubricant before applying a swift force. They probably just need to be untacked (oeh, bad translation). I've got images of the internals on my Miata-page:

That's a great page, wish I had an English translation...

Forgot to mention, both Yahoo and Google will translate from Dutch to Gibberish which isn't very helpful. ;-)
