Upper side mirror vibrating badly

August 29, 2021, 06:18:09 pm

I was not able to upload a video that I took of the upper of 3 mirrors on the driver side vibrating badly. I'm concerned that it could come off. I'm traveling and don't have a ladder to inspect it. How are those kept in place?

The same upper mirror on the passenger side is firm.

See attached. It's the one on top.

Tomorrow I'll try to check it.

Had the same problem on mine a while back.  I taped over it until I had time to check it out for I did not want to lose the mirror.  Upon inspection the mirror had become detached from its backing so I used silicone glue to reattach to backing that had become separated.  No more vibrating.

Good luck and hope yours is an easy fix too!

I used vhb tape to reattach mine.

Industrial strength Velcro here, but I like Tom's idea of vhb tape.  I've had great experience with that stuff on my new electric bay door actuators.

All fixed.

Oscar, thanks for the heads up. I taped it until I got around to fixing it this morning.

Tom and Mark, I could not find VHB tape at Depot. I bought and used the tape shown in the picture. [Update 9/7]: After driving around for a week after the fix using the tape in the picture. Not good. Tape is not holding up. I'm going to order some VHB tape as per Tom.

All, as always, thanks for all the help that can only be had from the great FT owners in this forum.
