Driver's Side Mirror
Hey all, Mirror is lose and over 40mph is lowers down. Someone told me work super glue into it but I'm thinking that may be a permanent fix or when adjusted it would just break lose. Any suggestions without having to replace the mirror? Appreciate it!!!

You can find how to restore the mirror. I did mine and it works fine now. Start by soaking it in gas to remove the glass. Is a good DIY.

Obviously not a permanent solution or correct solution but the super glue does work - not that it glues it into position it just gives the ball more thickness to tighten it up in the socket. Make sure you do not drip the superglue anywhere......

I tried to repair mine per the suggestions on the Forum but it did not work out. First I broke the nub off of the base, then I broke the glass. Not a great showing for someone who makes a living doing home renovations and handyman work. I'm going with the fact that it must have been a cheap replacement part and was doomed from the beginning. I ordered a new one from Southern car parts and it is tight as can be. The part was less than $60 including shipping and tax. Considerably less then the value of my time spent messing with the first one.MIRROR
