Thanks for the great customer service, reaching out and refunding for that extra part :cheers:
 
So......what is the solution if the bottom post is already busted up and gone, is there a fix for that bottom post?
thanks,
Scott

I did this last night. The little Ears on the plastic part that stays in the mirror housing, now that the top of the part with the mirror attached has to slide under Outsane's bracket, it can't come over the top and rest down on the little Ears, that's why you slot the tabs, either broken or still have a hole in them. Look back in this thread where he shows the slotted tab modification picture. Then with them slotted you can slide the mirror part up under the bracket. It confused me for about 10 minutes (because you can't see back there as you slide the mirror in). But then I realized, slotted my unbroken tab side, and it slide right in.

Have not test driven it yet. I did notice the mirror part can be rotationally moved a little bit with your fingers. Not sure if that is negative, positive or nothing.

This was the solution to my problem. Thanks @TossYoda

My passenger mirror began to shimmy and shake a few weeks ago. And last weekend I tightened the screw that you remove to remove the mirror. The shakes are gone.

Had no idea that screw held the whole mirror assy in place. How good is that?!

This is why the bottom screw housing fails. The screw gets over tightened to resolve the shaky mirror issue, but only works for a while. It’s not meant to be torqued hard enough to compensate for the broken upper mount. I would consider the bracket being offered here or some other fix before the bottom screw housing on your mirror fails.
 
Just a follow up. My mounts installed easily and work great!
 
Talk about an easy install, great job on the design! Thanks for the affordable fix.
 
Just installed this piece. I haven't driven it on the highway yet, but I applaud @Outsane on the ease of installation. Usually a "5 minute job" is more than 5 minutes. This was less!
