Floppy wing mirrors..

Post

Back to the top
Hi there

I have chrome flag wing mirrors and they won't hold their position for long. Once I start driving they flop and are pretty useless to the driver.

Is there a fix for this or do they need replacing ?
If I remove them is there something in the mirror itself which can be tightened to resolve this issue?
I've had a search and can't really find anything on the topic.

Thanks

I'm guessing if you remove the 2 screws that hold it to the door there willl be a nut that holds the mirror 'flag' tight poss via a spring.

Its only 2 main components so if theres nothing to tighten you'll have to bodge by glueing it when its in the correct position

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
