Always thought the outside mirrors were seized and would not adjust. Removed the passenger side mirror to replace the cracked mirror. I found that the vertical shaft is six sided and not adjustable once installed, only the horizontal plane is adjustable. Am I missing something?

If you gently remove the seal around the outer edge of the mirror, you can remove the glass. Once it's removed, you will see a nut that controls the tension for the vertical movement. Do the same thing here you did with the base.
Remember, too little tension will cause the mirror to vibrate due to engine and road vibration. Too much and you can't move it up or down. |
