runninamuck Member 7 Member For: 17y 9m 10d Location: Perth, WA Posted 01/09/08 01:40 PM Share Posted 01/09/08 01:40 PM The rearview mirror in my BA MkII seems to have come loose & rattling heaps. I had this problem before and got Ford to fix it up cause it was going in for a service at about the same time.has anyone else had this problem?? Is it easy to fix up? I've had a look but can't really see how it can be tightened (at least not as easy as my old EF). Can anyone tell me if they know how to tighten it, I can't be bothered taking it into ford just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't rattly during normal driving, but when I crank the subs HOLY CRAP it vibrates louder than the stereo can go.I'm often driving around with my left hand holding the rear view mirror to shut it up!I've been tempted to rip it out of the car, turn it upside down, fill it with something which will firm all the internals up on it (some glue of some sort) and when its dry to stick it back inside the car hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mirror is apparently a real b*itch to remove without breaking the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mirror is apparently a real b*itch to remove without breaking the glass.yes it is... it took me a good hour and many, many loud profanities to remove mine, you need tiny tools, which are strong enough to release the clip... just talking about it is angering me again....
