Wing mirror

[Phil74]

Strange one the drivers wing morror vibrates/shakes at 60 + definitely not the housing and doesn't feel loose at all . Is there a fix please?

Glass or housing?

 

[Phil74]

The Glass is shaking

Remove glass check the mounting on rear of glass & the 4 way motor as that's screwed in place.

Is it difficult to remove the Glass?
Thanks for your help

push to one side and pull other gently. the back of the mirror has two wings which fit into slats and then clips into movement ring. Another alternative is to just push it in first to see if it just needed reseating. Can't imagine the inside has any problem unless some ****** clipped it and broke some screws. The housing is aluminum but the attachment points are plastic.

Thanks Fredrik! Just hope I don't crack the Glass

Did you get it sorted mate?

I had this problem. Took the glass out and two of the black clips had snapped of the bracket. Got a new glass and bracket and clipped it in, now it's fine...

Yea I followed the advice and it seems to have done the trick, couldn't see the problem but it's back together without any shaking.
Cheers
