MY 2000 TJ has developed "floppy mirror" syndrome. The passenger side outsid emirror turns down when I drive. I.e., the force of the wind pushes the mirror. It moves too easily and therefore gets "readjusted" every time I drive. Does anyone know how to tighten up the mirror's adjustments?
thanks for your help!
There is a bug nut on the bottom part where it attaches to the mount. Make sure that is tight. I dont recall what size socket it takes, sorry.
I have a 95 Wrangler that has developed this, where exactly is the nut for this or can t be done on YJ?

...a bug nut...? :-)
TJim did pass the time by typing:
Bugs have sex? :>
It's slang for a clamp used in heavy wiring.
Did you ever smell moth balls??
nope, can't bend down that low.

yea, it bugs me when it gets loose.
Why do mice have small balls?
Not very many mice know how to dance.

Eggshually that is moths.
How does that explain why so many only have *one* and it must be cleaned regularly to function?
What? I got the mouse joke. It even made me chuckle. :-D What does "How does that explain why so many only have *one* and it must be cleaned regularly to function?" mean? Am I missing something (I *hate* it when that happens...)? :-)

OK, so you really want us to believe you have *never* heard any of the "cleaning your mouse ball" jokes or heard any of the old IBM jokes about replacement mouse balls? >:-)
the YJ has 2 screws on the botttom of the mirror near the pivot. Tighten them, it'll help some.

OK, duh! I think I'll go get another cup of coffee... I'm really not as dense as I sound sometimes... ;-)
Not the mouse ball cleaning info but still funny:
LOL! Years ago, I worked for FMC. I won't quote the whole thing, but we always said the M stood for More and the C stood for Customers. ;-)
