Supporting Member whistler Posted September 7, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 7, 2018 Couldn't find a solution using Search, so here I am. It's a minor issue, but still a little annoying. The mounting threads and stalks aren't the issue...it's the first pivot knuckle below the mirror housing that slowly rotates downward after rolling over the usual bumps and moguls on my DC commute. Can't find a way to tighten the knuckle itself. Thinking about running a small bead of SuperGlue on that knuckle to prevent the mirror housing from rotating. Anyone else have this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

koth442 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Huh, that's a new one for sure. Hasn't happened to me. Maybe someone else will have an idea. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member builderbob Posted September 7, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 7, 2018 I assume the bike is under warranty. Make the dealer replace the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeelo221 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Same thing on my 2015. My left mirror is loose as you describe. Even under hard acceleration (no bumps) my mirror is pointing to the ground. Did you find a fix or have it replaced under warranty? Edit: Found this post, gonna try this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Found this post, gonna try this out Mine wouldn't face the ground. The mirror stem would literally close sot that the mirror would end up touching my shoulder (the height of the mirror remained constant). Like yours, anything above 80 kph would end up with the mirror tucked in. Since doing the steps above i haven't had this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
