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 |

Also, sometimes it is not the contents of the mirror causing the glass to rattle. I had always assumed that is what my problem was, but when I finally went to do something about it, the pivot point that actually attaches to the side of the mirror was simply worn out. I set it to where I need it to be for my driving position, and I used a small ring of Qwik Steel(Similar to JB weld, but easier to work with in this application), and it took care of the issue.
