Aero Mirror Loose

[7783911]

The glass portion of my psgr Aero style mirror is not "tight" and after any sprited driving the mirror position will have moved from vibrations/bumps. I took it apart and cant for my life see any way to make the glass mounting any snugger

any suggestions?

BUMP..someone must have some ideas?

You have the notched ring all the way over ?
If nothings broken back there that’s the only thing I can think of .
4 clicks to remove glass , and 4 to lock it in iirc .
Will check after work if you like ?

Yes, I tried that, even took the mirror apart to see what creates the friction point but had no luck there. sigh

My drivers side is apart at the moment if I can help with photos??
Unfortunately even a low speed drive is out of the question right now , but I do have an old glass removed from car and a new genuine one in box ready to install so can take pics to compare with what I have .

I’ve had 2 mirror glasses mysteriously fall off Porsche’s in the past two months or so.
Adhesive failure holding glass to backing.
Saw the boxster glass peel itself loose in slow motion as I shut the door and managed to catch it then super glue it back on , 964 no such luck ....
It was there , then it wasn’t .
I can look , but think it was $150 for a new heated glass .

the notched ring is tight..so not sure what to do next

If the mirrors are manual, a metal ring puts pressure on the pivot ball -



If the mirrors are power -



I think you have to get a motor assembly. I took one of the motor assemblies apart several years ago, and it seems that there is a ty-rap looking rack inside that fails.
