Subject:Mirror replacement alternative: tightening (was Re: Truck Mirrors Installation - Pics Needed - Advice)
From:Mike South

I bought a set of mirrors when I was just starting my restoration.
When I opened the new mirror I looked inside the mount and saw a nut
there that looked like it might increase the tension on the ball
joint.  I pulled off my old mirror and lo'n'behold, it had one o' them
nuts, too.  I tightened it, put it back on, and it quit blowing back
to the window when in high wind or highway.

(pmail me if you are in the market for a set of opened, but otherwise
completely unused mirrors.)
