My 2000 C5 does not seem to have away to tighten up an interior rear view mirror that finds itself pointed down at the console rather than rearward after a lap at Pocono.
How do you tighten them up?

I just replace it when it droops or shakes

I think the last car I had where you could tighten the rearview was a 1961 MGA.

Replace.

They are getting expensive too, the more chit they build into them.

Maybe find a basic aftermarket mirror for less. Google it.



Try a very small hose clamp around the socket part, tighten just right & wrap with black tape so it won't look so bad.

I am not sure if the C5 is the same but on the C6 the mirror is a pinch fit on a cam and twists off. There are 2 pins like roll pins inside (they are special) and you can try bending them a little toward center then reinstall the mirror and see if it is tighter.

On the C6 this seems to be a one time install and after that it is a little loose but usable.

I also have a new one (in the box) for a C6 and they cost about $150. It is the electronic one and available for $100.

Rich, you could always reduce vibration by slowing down, then my old C-4 might be able to stay in your view mirror - just a thought! Hope to see you at CVCC Pocono.
