TJ Mirror Question
Is there any way to tighten the mirror flex points on the stock mirrors on a
'98 TJ? Every time the door closes on my Jeep, I have to adjust the mirror.
The passenger side isn't quite as bad, but it still has the problem. Is
there a tension adjuster or something in the mirror bracket that I've
missed? Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Re: TJ Mirror Question
Yes ... there should be a nut up under the mirror that can be tightened ...

Let me guess...you have half doors? My half door mirrors are always getting
knocked out of adjustment when closing the door...I think it's because the
doors flex more when being slammed shut than the full doors, which seem to
never need adjusting...

Re: TJ Mirror Question
Pull the mirrors, sell them, and put on CJ-style mirrors.

So you're saying those newfangled CJ5s are REAL JEEPS? I thought only
CJ2s and earlier were. You're confusing me Bill! :)
