Wind Blows the Side Mirrors out of Position
As I'm driving, my side mirrors (OEM replacement mirrors bought from LMC) fold inward because of wind.
Any ideas on how to make them tighter so that they won't do this? |

If they are dumbo mirrors just take the bottom cover off and then you will see a tighting bolt for this very thing.

If the bolts just wont tighten up enough to hold them, you may have to scuff them up a bit where the two pieces contact to give them a little more friction.

Same problem here but mine are the stock small mirrors, I close the door and they move. I was going to replace them with the ones from lmc but may look somewhere else.

Put a screw through the shaft. I had 91 Dakota with the same problem. I removed the mirror and wrapped the shaft with duct tape. I tightened the screw down and it worked.
