The driver's side mirror on my 73 has the shakes. The body of the mirror, etc. is tight - it is the mirror glass that is shaking in the unit. Is there a way to fix this? It appears if I removed the outside gasket, the glass will come out so I could glue the back of the mirror to the base but I don't want to do anything until I know for sure. I do not want to mess it up and then have to spend over $200 for a new mirror
Thanks Bob |

Bob,
The mirror glass sits in a plastic holder in the mirror body, and is secured with the black plastic gasket you mentioned. The components are shown here: http://www.p914.com/p914_mirrors_side-late_components.htm. You can remove the glass by removing the outside retainer as you suggested. If your glass is shaking, you are probably missing the interior plastic part that holds it (or that piece is damaged or the glass is not properly fitted). Hope that helps. |
