rear view mirror problem

[JRas]

It happens when my car sits outside in the sun and warms up the inside of the car causing my mirror rubber thingy to become loose. I will begin driving the car look at my rear view mirror angled down looking at my rear seats.

it's rather annoying having to adjust the mirror every 3 seconds :bash:

anyone have this problem? or know how to fix it.. stupid I know

[Brian]

yeah my old s14 used to do that.

I jammed some gum and stuff in the "ball joint" part of the mirror to wedge it in place.

it sort of worked.

[Propaganda]

IDK how to fix it. I tried to disassemble it and it wouldn't go back together


Getting a new one from the junkyard is a nice solution. They let me have mine for free

[Dutchmalmiss]

Yep stick anything in there, or junkyard it. The sun warps the plastic, loosening the steadiness of the mirror position.

[SkyHawkX]

Mine does that. Kind of annoying.

Nearly any Nissan uses the same mirror. Snag one from the yard.

[drftthatshit]

[bigtom]

You're going to have to use real words, and some punctuation, if you'd like anyone to pay attention to what you're saying.

[SoSideways]

remove it completely.

Then where can the JDM fanbois like me going to install their [email protected] t0Yt jDm Broadway mirrors?

Seriously!!

^^word^^

You could always use kite string and tie it to the head liner. LOL JK

Liek everyone else said, go to a junkyard or buy one off here. Luisgonz has one in his for sale thread.

OR upgrade and get a broadway mirror.

The Broadway mirror still needs your stock mirror to hook onto. It's like a hook/latch type system.

Nobody has mentioned tightening the small screw in the back of the mirror. Have you tried that yet?

[dirteeboy808]

does anybody know by some miraculous chance what size screw it is? i don't even have that screw on the back anymore and i've tried lots of screws and they were either too long or too short ... fail.

Well fuck me... :smash:

[Vinny]

Ya, mine just started tilting down this summer. I lowered my car recently, so I guess thats why it's starting to drop everytime? I never noticed there was a screw, but I'll try tonight or tomorrow.

[sr20alex]

Mine does that too sometimes i got sick of adjusting it so i just turned it in a circle twice and it got a lot better..

[driven_]

a screw!?

i thought it was one of those hex things (sorry, LOL) where you take a hex screw and turn it.

GAH,DAMNIT!

:(

[projectRDM]

I ditched the OE mirror and installed a Mitto compass/auto dimming with temp display mirror on the windshield. Way nicer with more cool shit.

[Vinny]

where sir do you get that???

[cserrano86]

There should be a screw (not sure on the size) but if you wanna be ghetto about it, throw some sand in there. It's not like you'll be adjusting your mirror enough times to notice.

[enkei2k]

would anybody happen to know what size screw is used? mine is getting to be annoying, insanely loose.

I hate rear view mirrors. always remove and throw away. leaves nice clean windshield w/ nothing blocking my view. :bow:

[tramp_drift240]

arent there like...legal problems with removing your rear view mirror.

well va state law states as long as you have 2 outside mirrors you can tint your back window pretty dark and if i can tint "black out" my rear window then why do i need to have a rear view mirror?

I've argued that one w/ cops before. they go read the code book, come back and tell me i have a valid point. lol then i get a ticket for ride hight and exhuast
