How do I tighten the rearview mirror. It is shifting around especially when the temp outside is extremely hot.

It is a '96 Q

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I was considering replacing the mirror but figured a search of the Q forum would be wise first. I found several threads on the topic, fixed it in 10 seconds (well, I would have if I hadn't nearly lost the rubber plug after it LAUNCHED out of the mirror).

I was definitely glad to keep the stock mirror. The stock dimmer control setup is far too '90s-tech cool to replace with a modern homelink style mirror. I still wish the mirror itself was about an inch wider, though.

Hooray for the Q forum!
