Default Wobbly side view mirror glass?

Hey all,

My passenger side mirror glass wobbles with the wind at speed on the highway. I wanted to know if anyone has had any problems like this before, and what the best remedy is? It's not that bad, just annoying. I tried a search and didnt find anything.

Thanks!
Robby

I had to re glue my driver's side mirror. I used a clear adhesive with excellent results. Pull yours off before it falls off as the replacement is pricey.

Silicone also works well. Had to do that on my Audi.

No, actually the mirror glass and frame it sits in locks in place with a rotating ring.

My Side Mirror Glass Replacement write-up might help.

WOW ... great write-up there Alex

I always do struggle to get those securing rings to unlock and have to admit to having broken many a mirror during removal so go careful Robby
