I see Aaron told you about taking the side mirror off and tightening the nut. Just be careful not to over tighten, as some have complained about cracking the assembly. I have the same problem on my passenger side mirror but am afraid to tighten further. I just avoid high speeds and headwinds! :) Dave in KC 85 westy ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Rohrer <jim_rohrer@YAHOO.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 7:19 PM Subject: Side mirrors blow in
I just bought an 86 GL camper a few weeks ago and when I hit around 65 mph (yes, top speed downhill) or drive into a headwind the side mirrors fold in, on both the drivers and the passengers side. |
