Side View mirror modification Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 11:56 pm     Views: 46      Rating: Not rated

I fought this worn out mirror for a long time and finally decided to make it so it couldn't fold in on its own. I drilled a hole in the side of joint in the mirror arm a bit smaller than a #10 screw. I then loosened the nut a bit, put a set screw into the hole and tighten the nut back up. The swing function of the arm is nice and tight now and not going anywhere unless the mirror is hit really hard.
