Not sure where to post this, but the problem is that they move when speed gets around 60 or faster. Of course one solution would be to drive slower, buy how much fun can that be? Anyway, before I replace them, does anyone have a tried and tested solution? I was thinking that after I adjusted them properly, I could use some type of glue or adhesive to make the adjustment permanent. What would be a good adhesive to use? Maybe my hot glue gun ... Anyway, I just thought that I would toss this out for suggestions before I invest in new mirrors. Thanks in advance... sdtsdt

FYI ... 67 SS 396 ... 138 car ... White, blue interior, console, buckets, power driver seat, M21 Muncie, Air, power steering, power drum brakes, fun to drive, but not terribly quick off the line with a M21 and 3.31 rear ... Still, I love it!

What do ya mean "they Move?" like how...

I replaced my '67 mirror due to pitting, but the original was quite sloppy & loose. Some people will peen the socket with a center punch. That has the effect of creating just enough interference that it won't move when you get north of 60.

I replaced mine with a repro, and a few years later it was doing the same thing...

Mike,
mine would also do the same thing on the highway... The force of the airflow would actually want to push the mirror out of adjustment, trying to puch it so it paralleled the airflow...

Of course, I have had originals loosen too, but it seems like they last longer (go figure!)...

On a loose 67 round mirror, I have used a spring-loaded center punch on the mirror ball to cause deformations. By moving the mirror to its maximum range and putting a half dozen depressions on the ball right next to the socket has worked for me. Essentially it is creating a little bit of knurled friction.

Thanks guys ... I never thought about using a punch to create a deformity and make some resistance ... I'll try that ... It is such a nuisance when they blow over ... Once again, thanks for the responses ... sdtsdt

Super glue works pretty well.
