The other day I was working on a ladies Vanagon. The Mirrors were all floppy
and would fall as you drove the car. I pulled the mirrors off and turned them
over. There is a nut and washer on top of a spring. Pull the nut, washer and
spring. Now remove the half round disk, this will alow you to pull the base
off. Clean up the shaft, disk, and base. Lube the shaft and put back together.
Now the nut can be tightened up against the spring and the mirrors will not
fall anymore. I wanted to pass this on because I have seen many Vanagon with
floppy mirrors. Its a cheap easy fix, about 30-45min.
