Wobbly mirror glass

[tobeski]

Anyone else have this problem, the glass in the wing mirrors wobbles about a fair bit when the car is going anything over about 40 (and the drivers side one rattles like a b*tch too.

Is it just a case of taking them off and maybe packing them out a bit?

Mine are the same, drivers side wobbles away over about 20mph, it's a bit of a pain...

Any ideas? Anyone investigated it on their clio?

My drivers side one is now dropping and moving while driving, noticed it earlier when it decided it wanted to point downwards at about 70mph. Need new glass or a whole mirror?

I got a wobbly mirror when I changed the broken glass for a new one. As I prized the old one off the backing plate pulled the part of the mirror body that moves forwards so that when I clipped the new glass in it was wobbly. I have improved it by taking the glass off again & putting insulation tape around the edge of the circular guide to stiffen it up. It's still not as good as it should be, but better than before.

Recently improved this a lot. There is a white plastic clip which slots over a semi circular black piece of plastic between the motors. I pulled this forward & packed it with insulating tape. I think it is meant to be a tight fit, but had got loose, it needs to move for adjustment yet be tight enough to not wobble.
