Looks like an easy enough mod.

Looks like a great fix, to bad the other pin isn't bolted also, but it should work!!

$75 for what should be free. Or not needed if they were designed properly! Tom

I did Lamont's fix. It cost about $8.00, but only because I needed to buy the tap.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Lamont's fix is the cheapest way out, other than like said, the company doing it right the first time! But after watching some of the video's of that fix, where that bolt makes contact with the mounting plate in the back, it looks to me that there is rubbing going on where it is wearing it's way threw that plate! I was thinking when I saw that in I think it was Lamont's video that maybe a little gasket compound or gluing a small piece of rubber back there to strike agents would keep it from rubbing threw! Or maybe I am just trying to reinvent the wheel and it don't matter! Just a thought, some thing I picked up from the video, good luck guy's

I ordered the parts earlier today. 62$ seems excessive, but i have seen that the screw fix eats into the bracket on the machine.

My Lamonster mirror fix was free as I already had the tools and lots of 1/4-20 screws. No more loose mirrors and no $75.

BRP has a mod kit out for 2020 RT and RTL - possibly F3's too (?). It converts the clip -on mirrors to bolt-on.
Kit can be ordered from BRP dealers and is free of charge. Service dept. will install - takes around 10-15mins.
Just had the work done on my RTL - mirrors rock solid now

I posted this in another thread. After about a month of riding with Lamont's fix, the mirrors started to shake again. Not as much as the original problem, but still troublesome.
I found that the metal screws threaded into the plastic plate had started to back out.
I'm not sure how well Loctite would work with plastic, so I added teflon plumbing tape to the screws to tighten up the threads and then reset the screws.
If I have any issues with the screws striking the mounting plate, I'll just add a small piece of metal.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

AT my 3K mile check, I'm asking my dealer to do the fix. I don't have a problem with it now, but time will usually bring out the problem.

Good to know. Right now (1 day in) it is rock solid, but if it starts to shake, I now know what to do. Thanks!

The set for each mirror has three BRP part numbers, but don't have them.
The upgrade kit the dealer ordered came with two sets, enough to fix both mirrors

That's what I was hoping for, the kit number so I could refer my dealer.

Is there a number for this kit ?
I've got my dealer looking into it, but so far they're unaware of it.
EDIT....Ummmm....................Nevermind.
My dealer just found a "TST" ?
They are ordering the parts and I'll have the conversion made as soon as they come in.
Thanks. I love this site !
And BRP also gets Kudos for lisntening to it's customers.

I'm guessing you mean a "TSB" or Technical Service Bulletin? That's a common term in the auto industry.

It is, but it is not a warranty item. We tried, but the dealer won’t pay for the fix. We have had a fix in the works for months. After several tries, we developed the SAMS. BRP will sell you the fix. For less than half of their price, the SAMS is available now, and any owner can install them using the tools in the stock toolkit, and a pair of pliers. PM, email or call to get your SAMS kit, today! End that shaky mirror problem!! Joe

I'm curious as to what SAMS looks like. Got photos?
