wobbling mirrors

[digglesworth]

Has anyone pulled their side view mirrors apart? Mine are wobbling on the highway and I'm wondering if there was a way to tighten them up. The wobble seems to be coming from where the arm that holds the head attaches to the base that's attached to the door. Do any of the plastic covers come of to reveal any bolts or anything?

Don't know. My driver one wobbled until it fell apart in a car wash, but that wobble started with a hit against a rock. The used replacement I put on has a wobble too, and it came off a pavement princess H3.

Yeah mine wobble. I thought about using some caulking to permanently correct it, but I decided against it. I've learned yo live with it. Haha

I put a rubber gripper like the kind you get a Lowes for the bottom of furniture legs at the outside section of the base where you fold in the mirror. it helps a lot

Hmmmm.... Sort of like a shim? Did you use any glue or anything or just wedge it in there?

This was a known problem in the 06 MY..Mine did it on the driver's side and it took two years and two changes (under warranty) to get the latest version now that don't shake...

I have the same issue. Replaced my driver side mirror under warranty, replacement still shakes. I added a rubber pad too at the section where it folds, it helped slightly in my case. Just be careful in case you fold the mirror, the rubber would push the plastic part its squished between out and break it apart.
On my second rig I just didnt bother anymore, who needs a rigid mirror anyways!!!

I've learned to deal with the ServTpm coming on from the aftermarket wheels with no sensors. But I use my mirrors a lot and the wobbling drives me a little nuts... I hate to hear that replacements have the same issue. Although I'd probably spend that money elsewhere and learn to deal with the wobbling too. Thanks for the input everyone...

the rubber footpads have adhesive on one side, will see how long one lasts but it is a cheap fix
