Subject:      Re: Flopping mirrors - Vanagon

I learned. I took mine off and tightened the bolt and voila! no more flopping...for some reason the things remind me of elephant ears

>>With all this talk about fixing those Vanagon mirrors, I suspect you may not realize how inexpensive they are to simply replace. Why mess with hose clamps and such? Remove the mirror, and CAREFULLY tighten the nut under the mount. One of three things will happen.

a) The problem goes away. You just saved twenty bucks. b) The problem goes away for a couple of months and then returns. Order a brand new German mirror for $19.95 plus postage. c) The bolt shears when you try to tighten it. Be careful changing lanes until your new mirror arrives. :-)
