Shaky wing mirror

Post by RobC »

The glass in my offside wing mirror is very juddery.

Is this an easy fix? Will I need a whole new wing mirror or can I just replace the glass and whatever it is that holds it steady.

Is this on a bike? -or a car?

Interesting how originally they were all mounted on the wing. Now they are all on the door and yet we still refer to them as wing mirror.

Haha this is somewhat unfortunate- I thought I was on my old Citroen car forum as it looks just like this one!

Apologies... as you were.
blame the sun for making my head funny. I’ll be back with a proper bike question soon I’m sure :lol: :D :)

Well it could have been a cycle forum question, but the wing mirrors seem to have shaken right off......

Not quite all. I remember driving a van with them fitted where the non-opening quarter light met the window. I wish I could remember the make but it was soooo many years ago. Oblong things. I wonder if they were a retro fit?

Quarter lights - I wonder which was the last vehicle fitted with quarter lights? My guess is a Transit
