There was a thread here about putting a rubber washer in the mirror that
helps some.  Also, I have bought both the K source and VW mirrors.  The
mirrors from VW work great, but run about $70.  The K source mirrors work OK
with some modification.

Subject: Whats with the Side Mirrors?

My side mirrors do not stay in place.  Closing the door moves them, the wind
of a passing truck can lay one flat!  I figured they where old (which they
were) and bought some new ones on Amazon - they are K-Source OEM mirrors -
same thing.  So what's with these mirrors?  I could get them in the right
position, pull them off, and tighten the nut under them but that didn't work
with the old ones and I don't think it will work with these.  It's both
annoying and dangerous to have to adjust them every time I drive and again
every few minutes when I drive.

Is there another mirror that is good?  Is there a trick to get them to stay?
Suggestions?  Help?  Validation?

Thanks,
