Car washed, now mirror squeeks?

Just got my car washed for the first time since i got it a month ago, and now whenever i fold/unfold the passenger mirror it makes a brief squeak. Sounds almost like rubber rubbing on rubber....anyone got any ideas? I thought at first it may be because its wet inside but its been several hours and its warm out it should be totally dry, ive folded and un-folded the mirrors several times and it keeps happening. Anyone got any thoughts?

Weird that it happens but you can always just try applying some lubricant. If it doesn't stop then mention it to your dealer and have them check it out

Took it to get looked at today, turned out somehow me getting the car washed got some dirt and grime into the mechanism and that was rubbing each time they folded.

Did they clean it? And how? I'm actually hearing some noise on mine now so wouldn't mind cleaning it out before it makes any damage

He said they cleaned it off using compressed air and then applied some lubricant on it.
