LostnFound Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Anyone here tell me how to fix my loose rear view mirror? It won't stay in place on our bumpy roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 there is a screw you tighten where the 2 pieces meet, mine comes loose constantly whenever I adjust it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tonemonte Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 there is a screw you tighten where the 2 pieces meet, mine comes loose constantly whenever I adjust it I put a nut and bolt in there, helped out alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droff Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The whole thing has just come off my windshield, I have the metal piece the mirror slides into laying in a cup holder. Is there a particular adhesive that works best to re-attach the mirror bracket? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hmmm the base of my 70 & 71 attaches to the roof, they don't have the pieces that glues to the windshield they sell that adhesive at your local parts store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droff Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'll look into the roof mount but I can see where it was attached on the windshield. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 That's odd. They do sell the rear view adhesive like Sam said but mines attached to the roof. Maybe someone changed it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 That one had to be changed along the way sometime. The windshield mount didn't come along till years later than our cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm just happy to know that the only problem I have with mine is that I just have a screw loose. Like I haven't heard that before! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 While we're on the topic, mine is loose at the pivot closest to the roof. Is there a way to solve this as well? It seems kinda weird that the mirror has 2 pivot points, as I just tend to grab the mirror head and adjust the lower section. So is the mirror actually 3 pieces?

overdrive Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Remove the rubber cover at the top of the mirror support arm and there's a hex head bolt that you can tighten. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
