BobW Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 When I flip my mirror from day to night, something inside the housing moves and all I can see is the headliner, no 'ghosted headlights' out the back window. I've tried this with the lever on both positions with the same result. The glass has a molding around it that seems to indicate it can come apart. Is there an adjustment inside the mirror? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Try pointing the mirror down even more, then try it again. You may already be in the 'night' position, or something like that. I may have it backwards, but you get the point. I get it wrong sometimes, then re-aim it & try the lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 That moulding is probably dried out and won't go back together, but it does open. Found that out the hard way when I took mine apart to try and fix the light inside. Not sure if you can find a new one, wound up just getting a smaller new one. (with no light.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is scheduled to go in for paint in March, I'll wait until then to attempt a fix. If it's a no go, a new one is ~$50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It'd be nice to find the big mirror with the map light, Not sure if there's any still out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPGI has the lighted 12" one for $100, the regular 12" one for$50. I don't need a $50 light! 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I replaced mine years ago when the mirror got all spotty. The replacement is a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
