Mine is about useless. Is there any way to correct this?
Mirror Base to door skin? Mirror Head to mirror Base? --Or Mirror glass to mirror head?

 
I'm going to try this instead. The passenger side mirror is pretty useless, and seems to always get out of adjustment. I am going to mount the camera looking out the passenger window so I can see the blind spot. This monitor can use 2 cameras too. I might end up putting a camera in the back too. I'm mounting the monitor where map light would be, should be able to make a bracket for that. http://www.tadibrothers.com/Catalog/BackupCameraKits/5-Monitor-and-a-Frontal-Camera

Thanks, I must have missed that one.

After reading it through it seems all I can do is glue it in place.

Unfortunately my mirror always points down. It´s never bothered me until yesterday. It must have been a crazy coincidence or a matter of a split second but as I was about to change lanes, I looked over my right shoulder and out my side window and did not see anything.

Then just as I was starting to pull right I hear a car honk furiously and then I noticed that a complete Audi A 5 had been hiding in a dead spot and I almost drove into it.

That has somewhat changed my perspective on the subject.

Taking into account that I have been driving this car for 14 years and personally put 150 000 KM on it, it must have been a crazy coincidence because it´s never happened before.

 
If you are willing to replace the glass, there is a fix for the floppy mirror. There is a video from west coast cougers that shows how to tighten the ball socket up. I did it and it worked good!!

 
It is a great time to upgrade to the convex mirror glass, it really helps

I think the other cars should respect the pecking order and just get out of my way. Would be much less work for me. :)
