My Suburban has a little bit of a personal problem...its mirror can't stay up. Are these fixable or do I just need to buy a new one? I'm not sure what the internaks look like so i figured I'd ask before i tried fixing it and making more gray hairs on my head.

I think its a lost cause but you might squirt some super glue in it and have someone get it aimed properly as a temporary measure. Maybe someone else has had better luck than me and will share their ideas. Mine were like that and I finally bought new ones .Good luck.

Be careful with the Viagra. If your mirror doesn't drop after four hours, you'll need to consult a doctor.

Good point! I hadn't weighed the side effects portion of the commercials yet. Thanks for the back up.

Does it have adjusting screws in the back? If it does try tightening them if you haven't already and see if that will do it. Otherwise, I agree that you'll probably need to replace it.

Be careful mine did that and then the mirror head flew of going Down the highway. It hit the side of my truck, good thing I don't have good paint. Looks like your paint is nice so be careful .
