Side view mirror shakes when driving

[The Reaper]

my driver's side mirror shakes in my 88 1J car

did it in my old 86.5 blue car. switched the old style mirrors out to the 89+ and it still shook.

not the housing but the glass

it bugs the hell outta me

There's a black metal plate that is held by 3 screws, which is attached to the actual plastic housing itself. The plastic where the 3 screws drive into the plastic may be cracked... Just take some glue or fibreglass and it should hold solid.

my plastic housing that holds the glass cracked so thats why mine was still shaking

just put some epoxy on the 4 cracks that i had and now im waiting for it to cure. Hopefully this fixes the problem

WooT tightened up the screw and it made it better = ) it was like 1/4 a turn also

if you tighten the screw up and it doesnt help. Unscrew that screw all the way and you will be able to move the mirrow out enough to apply some epoxy to it. I applied some to all 4 sides and now its rock solid. Doesnt shake at all now.

Thanks
