CO_pathfinder Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Quick question for y'all: Does anybody else have problems with the driver side mirror at highway speeds vibrating so much that the car behind you is so blurry that you rub your eyes?

CO_pathfinder Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Way to brag Brian I'm guessing that it's probably dirt in the wheels, or the fact that I'm convinced that my rotors are warped haha. Do you know if there is any way to tighten the mirror to the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Never has to do it but you might find some info on it in the Body section of the FSM.... I wasn't bragging really, just anyone who has ridden a big cc thumper knows vibration and how useless rear mirrors can be. On them you use bar weights and rubber isolators to control mirror vibrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Two screws underneath the mirror, have a habit of becoming loose, at least on my one they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input man, totally solved the issue. Now to deal with the timing belt and the smashed radiator that is blocking my access....

Precise1 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well then, what was the problem, and how did you solve it?

Mirrors were fine unless the engine was running, then they would give you seizures if you looked in them... B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
