SUPER_YOCOM Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) After market mirrors move too easily They dont flop around or anything close but do slowly get out of place after 55mph or more.With the screws tight of curse ive tried the oem tension springs set up and also added some thin tar like stuff to the ball/socket.Both helped but not a full fix.Any suggestions. Thanks,Yocom Edited July 13, 2018 by SUPER_YOCOM gramer 1 Quote Link to comment
CharlieMurphy Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 What kind of aftermarket mirrors did you get? Quote Link to comment
Spiff Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I've experienced this myself with aftermarket mirrors. In the end I just tossed them and got a set of used oem mirrors, never an issue since... 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 It seems all aftermarket mirrors suck whether they are on a 2003 Dodge, a 1998 GMC, a 1987 Land Cruiser, or a vintage Datsun. I don't know why these manufacturers can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment
bottomwatcher Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 My aftermarket mirrors stay in place perfectly! Just the mirror part gets smaller as the edges lose their mirroring coating. Quote Link to comment
CharlieMurphy Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Honestly, it all depends on the quality of mirror you choose. I know that there is some websites that still sell OEM parts like Partsgeek. I did notice on there that they are reasonably priced. I can get 2 brand new front fenders for $45 a piece but, you pay for shipping. Keep scavenging my friend, you'll soon find what you want. Quote Link to comment
