Woobly Mirror
Hey Guys need some help.My 75 passenger side mirror is so woobly where it mounts to the door it's embarrasing. I changed well nuts thinking they weren't getting tight enough.It's still bad any ideas ya'll would care to share? I've thought of installing a back up plate from behind,but kinda worried about stress cracks. I've looked around at other cars and they seem super tight.

It could be the bracket that screws to the well nuts or mirror itself. I had a sloppy passenger mirror with a new kit and it was a loose fittin bracket, installed new bracket from paragon and fixed it.

The procedure will take a bit of time on the phone...and forever to type out...so a call from you might be in your best interest.

The bracket is suspect. My plan is small flat plate tack on some nuts then tack a heavy wire to bracket for positioning. What type of cushioning should I use between plate and inside of door or am I over thinking this.
