Sideview mirror shakes when driving
Sideview mirror shakes when driving
The passenger side sideview mirror of my 1989 fc shakes when at speed. I looked at possible ways to fix this, but I cannot locate the screws that need to be tightened. It’s mostly loose in the top left corner. I see the two screws keep the housing on the mirror cap, but I can’t see any other screws to tighten. Any help is appreciated.
Google instructions:
Tightening Wobbly or Shaky Mirror Glass
If the main housing stays put but the glass itself wobbles or droops in the wind, tensioning the inner components is necessary.

- Adjust the mirror: Manually pivot the mirror glass as far inward (toward the car) as possible.
- Locate the screws: Look behind the glass for the adjustment mechanism, which features small screws or swedged tabs.
- Tighten the screws: Use a stubby Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriate hex tool to carefully tighten the screws found inside. Be careful not to apply too much pressure directly against the glass.
