Loose mirrors
Have had my rt about a week now. I have noticed the mirror housing on both sides seem to be loose. They do not appear to be so loose that they will fall off. But the do have about a half inch of play up down and left right. Is this normal, if not how can it be fixed.
Thanks,
Kevin

Mirror
If they are mounted like the 2011 it's just a little wire braket that holds them on. They were probably forced on at one time.
While holding the mirror in hand tap up and out on the bottom. When it's off you"ll see the wire braket on the back just pinch them together then reinstall. Just be a little easier going back on.
That should do it or go back to service deparment and have them checked.
Hope this helps Gary.

Sounds like a little much. Are they bouncing when you go down the road, or do they just move when you wiggle them? If they are steady down the road, they are likely fine. The next time you have the mirrors off for maintenance, you can straighten the metal wires for the clips and they will hold better (for a while). If you are bending the wires every time you snap themirrors on, a tiny bit of lube on the outside cone of the clip knob can help...or you may have to refine your mirror attachment technique. If you are worried about it, or the mirrors wiggle and blur, mention it to your dealer.

Ref the Loose mirrors
I posted this thread sometime ago

The cable ties are still holding the mirrors secure and I have only replaced them about 3 times due to having to remove the mirrors to undo
the panels for cleaning beneath them etc
Have not seen any other methods used but perhaps someone has come up with a better idear
