    Default mirror shake

    A while ago, some jackass kids shot my driver side mirror with a BB gun. they only were able to hit the bottom edge, which took a chunk out, and sent a crack up from the chunk to the top edge of the mirror

    So now I have a rattle or shake in the mirror

    If I adjust it just perfect the wind wont make it shake

    but usually this is at a bad angle and I cant see behind me.

    So does anybody know how to disassemble the power mirrors to fix this?

    I am going to replace the mirror glass, so I figure there is some sort of fastener under there

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The mirrors actually have 3 threaded sticks coming out the back of them and they simply push in and pull out when you want to disassemble them.

    So, when I get the glass off these screws will be visible?

    or do I have to take something else off?

    I would rather just tighten up my mirror so it doesnt shake, than buy a new one

    That's all that's holding the mirror on. Just grab it on both sides and pull it straight out.

    Wait are you talking about the whole mirror? or just the mirror glass?
