Hello,
the Clubman mirrors are quite shaky, but I can't seem to see how to tighten them up.
I was inside the door trim securing a loose door lock and tried to "feel" up inside the door to see how the mirrors are attached, but came up short - I couldn't figure it at all.
To me it seems there is a secure base plate with the mirrors somehow attached... but I have no idea and it bugs me.

Anyone able to set me straight - or point me in direction of new/better mirrors :D
thanks
Graham

Take a look at the back of the spring loaded arm where it meets the body. If you look carefully you will find a screw facing forwards. Loosten this screw and the body will come off the mount.
Then tighten up the mount and re-fit the body.

Hang on I will take a photo...

Hi

Thanks - I went and checked
A bit tricky to find "exactly" the right screwdriver, but with that done it was exactly as described and as easy as.
Two snug mirrors now :D :D

The trick it that the arms have to be on the right angle to allow the screwdriver in.
I am glad it worked. The really are great mirrors and they look right.
