Spraying lubricant behind folding mirror

So someone clipped my folding mirror when passing a few years ago. Most of the time it won't retract fully unless done manually. I've sprayed with silicone wd40 but only partially retracts. I have some Houdini lock spray, thinking about trying that a week after the silicone, thoughts?
 
I don't think different lubricants will do anything. Something internally is more than likely damaged, and will need to be replaced for functionality to return. They are plastic gears inside that wear out over time I would guess it stripped something.
