Rearview Mirror

Between everyday driving and a thumping subwoofer, my inside rearview mirror is getting loose. The service manual states it's a slip on fit. Is there a screw to tighten it up like the slow cars have?

It's a twist and pull removal. Maybe you can shim it to make it tighter.

Try Shaun at 248-276-0483, I think he has a new ones if the shim doesn't work.

There's a fix on the forum somewhere...I've used it. Take the back of the mirror apart. The three pins are bent (you'll see...)...straighten them out as much as you can and put it back together.

It's the bent pins. What a crummy design. I wonder how many times the pins can be straightened before they have to be replaced or the piece the mirror attaches to on the windshield is wore out.
