loose driver side mirror

liljojo4711 · 10-07-2009, 12:14 PM

the mirror on my drivers side is loose or something. it shakes in the wind and is very annoying lol. is there anything i can do, such as take the mirror part off and re-glue it or something? i dont want to buy a whole new mirror and everything. if not, its not that big of a deal.

i've been having the same issue. its not yet at the point where i can't use the mirror though so i've been lazy about dealing with it.

in for responses.

yeah its more of an annoyance than anything. it makes it harder to tell if cops are behind u too

mine only really shakes a bit on the highway. it doesn't move at all around city streets.

mine gets blown by the wind and it moves... i dont want to break anything if the mirror part isnt supposed to come off though. otherwise i would just rip it off and re-glue it with epoxy or something.

well, how are the actual mirrors held on? By screws/bolts or is it glue?

both of mine have a little play, i think it might be the slop in the mechanism that drives it

the glass just pulls out. push the inside part of the mirror in. grip the mirror and pull out.

^^^^ ill try that. maybe use a flat head or something to pry it off. any suggestions on what i should use to re-glue it?

its not the mirror, i looked into mine cuz its the same bull****...its the actually motor inside that has play, the mirror just snaps onto that and thats a tight fit, its so annoying Ill think theres flashing lights behind me at night because it shakes so much lol the only thing to do it get a new motor
