What size wheels can I fit?  Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region   |
Every time I get off the freeway, I have to adjust my side mirror as the wind pushes it up, down, in...everywhere. Is there a way to tighten the thing up?

Oh the other nut. Yea that one is a real PITA
The mirror glass has to come out. To do this usually means destroying the brittle rubber glass surround when removing it. once the glass is out then the same "tighten the nut" procedure. |

Rather than destroying the rubber, if the rubber ring doesn't pop out, just break the glass out and get some new glass cut. Cheap and easy. Worked for me. Of course, you can also just order some '73 Mustang mirrors as replacements. My understanding is that most here prefer them to the stock mirror. Attached image(s)

Can you please post the specific pattern to brake the mirror? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
