loose side mirrors


Recommended Posts

The power mirror functions work but when going down the highway at warp speed, both mirrors fold in a bit.  I removed the 3 torx screws but they are unrelated to the looseness of the mirror.  It looks like the circular post that the  mirror sits on is too narrow for the mirror insert.  Does one think by wrapping some electrical tape around the post will give it enough friction that they will not fold in?

I tackled this issue during the week, as I suspected just by wrapping some electrical tape around the internal post, it created enough friction that the mirrors did not swing in while driving at moderate speed.  Let's see how long this lasts.
