    Does anyone else have this issue?

    Hi, I have a 77 camperspecial. It has the swing out camper mirrors, and the thing that is bothering me to no end, is If I get to 50 mph, the wind moves the driver side , and if they are extended, then they both blow all to hell even going 30 mph. I have to drive with my finger on the mirror, keeping it where I want it. I have tried to tighten the bolt underneath, and it isn't doing much. Is there something I a missing?

    Does it maybe need new washers? Thanks for the advice guys.

    don't know if you fixed them yet but you might try taking a wooden skewer and shove a couple of then in pivot point break of cut them off so it doesn't show then wet them to swell or toothpicks (round) if gap is small worth a try i bet its aggravating

    tahoe, thanks for the reply. No i haven't fixed the problem yet. I tightened it more, and it helped a little, but not solved. I'll keep your advice in mind, sounds like a good idea. Yes, its very aggravating. It was crazy annoying on the 4 hour road trip I was on. That was a long drive with my finger on the mirror Thanks again for your advice!
