Side mirror adjustments?

[JJZ71]

I replaced my "dumbo" side mirrors with the black plastics from a 95-98 model. Dumbo's never shook but these new ones are terrible on the highway or really anytime I'm over 40 MPH. The driver side is worse than the passenger so I'm hoping that the mirror has an adjustment of some sort. Anyone had an issue with this?

 

[JJZ71]

No one???

The bolts that hold those mirrors on are a PITA, as you probably know. I'd check to see if those are tight. I've changed the mirrors on my '98 a couple of times. Only time that they shook was when I didn't get that front nut tight.

 

[JJZ71]

Your talking about the nut inside the door panel?

 

[sewlow]

Yes. The front one of the three.
I just checked the extra pair that I have. Did you get the rubber gasket that goes between the door & the mirror, when you got the mirrors?

 

[JJZ71]

Gasket is in place. I will take the panel off and check the nuts. Seems to just be the glass though.

Kinda the same thing as with the GMT900 tow mirrors. I don't know of any fix for it.

The mirror glass pops out. You can use a piece of stick on foam on the back side between the clips and it will reduce the vibration. I like my dumbo mirrors.

How does the glass "pop" out? I dont want to break it. I like the durability of the dumbo's but not the appearance.

I have been wondering about this too but for the 454ss mirrors. I picked up a set at the junkyard and the glass is a little loose and I have been wondering if there was a way to tighten it up. I hate the jiggly looking mirror while driving.
