tighten rearview mirror? Login - Sign Up

2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder convertible, mirror attaches to windshield.

Have a bluetooth rearview mirror which attaches to the existing mirror but too heavy and weighs it down and causes it to tilt. Any way to tighten??? Thanks for any help.

Also, same problem on 2007 Pontiac Solstice convertible.

There really isn't much your going to do there. They are designed as a ball in a socket and engineered with a predetermined amount of tension that is not designed to be adjustable at all.

LOL - the days of adjustable tention on the ball sockets of rear view mirrors ended about 40 years ago. Been there - done that got the T shirt!
