Replacing the Towing Mirrors?
We picked up a 2007 Class C Chevy based motorhome. There are two minor problems with the towing mirrors (driver and passenger door mounted).
The first is that the silver backing has degraded. I'd like to replace just the mirrors (not the whole assembly). But I'll be dogged if I can see a way to get them out of their casing? I've been told they just sort'a pop-out -- that they're held there by a ball and socket thingy.
Does that sound right to you folks? Just a little pressure from the back and they'll pop out?
Second is that the passenger side mirror *bracket* won't stay put. As I drive it works it's way inward, towards the door. And messes up my view. Again, I see no way to tighten the friction mechanism. I'm sure that showing you the exact mirror setup would help, so let me try to Google up something:
Hard to see but, these look like the exact mirrors on our model.
Any ideas on how to make them tighter? Less likely to swing in as I'm driving?
thank you!
