Loose remote mirror

[turboclam]

Is there a fix for this? I have two passenger remote mirrors that are floppy. Anyway to tighten up?

Thanks

Stretch the coiled outer jackets with two pair of pliers. Then lace safety wire into the gap. With enough 'shimming', you can get it tightened up like factory.

usually its fixable at the knob end , the spiral cable jacket has slid down into the soft aluminum body pull the cable jacket back out and re crimp the aluminum

How about the drivers side? Mine remote mirror tends to move some over time without any adjusting of the knob.

Same thing. It just has a shorter cable.

I know this is an old post but I'm having this same issue. There is a lot of slack in the cable and I'm not sure how to go about stretch the outer jacket that is referenced. Any ideas?

that's a buttload of stretch. With that much slack, I'd look into moving/replacing the stop to achieve some preload on the spring.
