Loose Mirrors on '84 98 Regency
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought an '84 98 Regency and I need to tighten up the side mirrors - it's loose where the mirror housing meet the small "arm" that comes out from the door. With the mirror (just the glass inside, NOT the housing) adjusted all the way to one side I can see the two screws that need to be tightened, but I can't get at them without taking the mirror and adjustment motors out of the housing. How do I get the mirror (again, just the glass) off to be able to get to the screws inside? Cheers, Kyle P.S. I've searched all over and found nothing, but if you have a link that would be helpful that's just as good. |

Wow, can't believe someone hasn't replied to this thread. Power mirrors?
Did you get it fixed? I believe that you have to take the mirror off the side of the car and tighten it. There should be lock nuts on the other side to tighten. GM is just wonderful at hiding stuff so it's hard to fix. I had a 83 Regency Brougham so I'm familiar with the car. mine had the fibre optic key light too. When the door handles started getting loose, I had to take the door apart from inside to get to the handle mechanicals and tighten them up. Frustration of ownership sometimes.

 I did not want to take the door all apart just to tighten a screw. Of course this car sees only a couple hundred miles a year...  Eventually I will fix this right and maybe even install the power door locks and "Concert Sound II" speakers that have been in a box in the garage for the past 10 years!

The OP hasn't posted since 2007 and then only three times in two days. Too bad, I bet he is gone now. At any rate, I am not pinging on anyone for bringing up an old thread but just wanted to comment on how important it is for us all to try and notice these things and at least respond with some encouragement if we don't have the answer the OP needs. I should not have missed this myself.
