Side Mirrors Too Tight to Adjust
'91 Miata:
Maybe it one too many cold winters and hot summers. It seems the side mirrors are resisting my efforts to adjust them, manually, with ease. Since there is no auto adjust, what should I do to adjust these? I am a bit afraid to force one of them not knowing it could potentially break the mehanism. I have stayed clear of spraying anything on them. |

Side Mirrors Too Tight to Adjust
Try spraying the base with a silicone based lubricant before applying a
swift force. They probably just need to be untacked (oeh, bad translation). I've got images of the internals on my Miata-page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jfeelder/miata...evisiespiegels Jeroen "Pat" > schreef in bericht ... > '91 Miata: > > Maybe it one too many cold winters and hot summers. > > It seems the side mirrors are resisting my efforts to adjust them, > manually, with ease.
