What type of mirror? The sport mirrors can be disassembled and all the fasteners, including the ones that hold the glass can be tighten up. I am not sure about the chrome mirrors though, someone else will have to chime in on those. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

…And up here in the snow belt, all those steel screws that thread into die-cast aluminum strip out or snap before turning. Get a GOOD screwdriver.
