Loose Rearview mirror - 97 Eddie Bauer

Sep 17, 2006 1 Replies

How does one tighten the rearview mirror on a 97 Explorer Eddie Bauer w/autolamp mirror. The mount on the glass where the mirror attaches to is solid and is not the problem. The problem is that the mirror is not tight on this mount. There doesn't appear to be any set screw. Do you need a special tool to install or remove the mirror from it's base?



Thanks Jay
