Tools for Sideview Mirror
« on: July 24, 2012, 10:06:28 PM »
What type of tools are used to tighten the sideview mirrors and where do you get them?  It looks like an allen wrench but that doesn't appear to work and I don't want to strip them.

If I recall,  it is an allen head  (Try both metric and SAE sizes).
Vibration can tend to loosen the screws and mess up the threads.
I re-tapped and installed slightly larger screws and have had no
more issues.   Look for a cheap tap and die set at Harbor Freight
or a Home Improvement facility.  In the long run,  you'll find it
a great benefit.
