side mirrors 75 or 78 series

hello Lyndon,

Undo screws and try fitting small washers or o rings, might be able to get more tension. Worth a go.
If that fails ring Britax, or ring them first.

Try taking the mirror of, loosen the two screws, turn it upside down and put a couple of drops of LOCTITE bearing mount or thread lock on the ball mount. Work it around a bit so that the liquid runs into the ball socket. When it starts to set mount it back and adjust it. Remove the main mounting bolt to get access to the two screws and tighten them up. Remount and let it set for a bit.
Worked for me, and with a bit of effort it can still be adjusted.

Cheers

Lyndon,

I would put a new aftermarket one on.

The ones at work get knocked a lot and in the end the only way you can stop them moving is to get a new one.

We don't use genuine and here is the link to ebay.

Mirror Head

Thanks guys. All good suggestions! I will give them a crack on the weekend and failing success I will get a new one of eBay.

Cheers

Lyndon

for the benifit of those who don't know, the part fitted and supplied by toyota as genuine is the britax item.

These can be purchased quite economicaly from a variety of places.

I get mine from QLD diesel spares, but many similar places will have them at competitive prices...and yes ebay

you can buy the mirror head alone or the complete thing with the arm.

I have found even the new ones realy don't hold all that well, even after being tightened up , it seems that it takes some time for the grease to dry out then they hold better.

cheers
