Cure for floppy rear view mirror? - 09/27/14 01:22 AM
The mirror in my Challenger keeps moving around under while driving. Is there any way to tighten it up? It is the ball that attaches to the at the top to the headliner that is loose. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I shimmed mine with a piece of soda can, worked well. You may need to beat it thinner.

If it is loose at the top where the stem meets the base, you will need to remove the mirror and base from the car. When you get it off, you will see a plate that puts pressure on the ball.
You should be able to tighten the screws in order to put enough pressure on the ball to hold the mirror. If not, as mentioned above, you can either bend the pressure plate a bit, or shim it with something.
