So i finally swapped in my autodim expo rear view mirror...but it wiggles like crazy! It's super annoying. It probably moves back and forth a good .25inch. It is on the mount on the windshield buy i can't for the life of me figure out how to get it not to wobble. The spring loaded tabs that go on the mount don't appear to have any adjustment on them.
Someone help me out, please!

When you give me the fix, I'll post pictures

 

did you get the mount from and explorer for it? i have to get one out of an explorer to solve this problem. just take a lighter to it and it will melt the glue and drop off the wind shield. but its going to be hot so dont catch bear handed lol

 

Nah, i figure they were the same on the Ranger. I've never heard of guys with this problem before...maybe my mirror is just old???
I think i'm going to hit up the junkyard and check those mirrors out and some other stuff for my 2.3t build...

 

yea i didnt think anything of it either when i got mine. so i went back to the explorer i got mine out of and took the mount and now its nice and tight no more wiggle.

 

Oh dam, looks like i'll be getting the expo mount. Thanks Downey.
So just a lighter takes it off, huh? Now i have to find a lighter...

 

You'd be nuts for two reasons to do that lol

1. Its of all people, Downeys advice
2. You're taking a lighter to your windshield lol


Just try a new mirror or something, I have an Expo autodim mirror on mine and the only time it moves is when my sub hits. I never changed the mount or anything. Your brother probably has like 20 of them somewhere anyway

 

you dont need much heat to take it off just get it warm and get a plastic puddy knife or something soft and pop it off.

 

Dam, thanks for the reality check Korey...i think i'm still half asleep.


In this case he doesn't!! He told me to make a thread, lol. I'll see what they want from the junkyard...i'm headed there right meow!

 

So what did you find?

 

Nothing. All the expos mirrors wiggles just as bad as mine. wtf?
But i did scope out two Rangers to steal parts off of for my turbo build! And a ton of mustangs to steal parts off of (2.3 motor parts...guys love buying **** off them).

But idk what to do. Maybe wedge some paper in there to **** the mirror and hopefully get it to stop wiggling?? idk...

 

Grant....the steel mount glued to the windshield is the same across the board. The part numbers for the 93+ Ranger and 95-02/05 Explorers are the same...Believe it's DW1317-GBY/GTY. Anywho...you remember where I used to work. lol.


Korey, once a-effin-gain...FTW
