Stop the dreaded mirror shake

He's talking about the pic from the 1st post, not your pic. The windshield frames are steel and it's common for them to rust. If you don't keep up on them, they end up looking like that. and eventually the windshields will leak when the rust pushes the on the rubber seal.

 

Yeah I know. I never noticed the rust in the OP pic. Also didn't know they were steel. My bad. Learned something new.

 

That is what I was trying to point out. Them there Pete people had you fooled all these years. I think it is ridiculous that happens on the Petes. After all these years I would think somebody would have a solution.

 

They do............................................

They just made the red oval bigger to distract them....lol

 

The passenger mirror on my K100 had the studs stripped in just such a way that the mirror would sweep back and forth a good 40 degrees in the wind going down the road. Went just fast enough around 60mph to create a nice panoramic view. Never shook as much as the aero mirrors in my Columbia, though.

 

Got a 2009 387 pete. Anyone know how to fix that type of mirror shake

 

I used a zip tie through one of those super balls you get out of a quarter machine wrapped around the shell and mirror horizontally. If you get the ball sitting dead center over the mounting plate you can retain most of the mirror adjustment on motorized mirrors. Didn't look great, but it worked on a beat up Werner "baby's first solo truck" 387 until they sold it.

 

Where did you get the strut to install???

 

Where can i get these from?
