F430 wobbly mirrors

[gizard]

The mirrors on my 430 are a little wobbly, is this just my car or 'do they all do that?!'

Mine are reassuringly tight/firm when moved. Seems like it might just be a bolt needing tightened? Or a new washer. Get down to dealers to fix.

Maybe I need to refrase - they are firm up to a point - there is just play in them, aprox. 3mm which irrates me! . Dealer is miles away and I just thought I could fix by adjusting / tightnening myself, there appear to be 3 torx screws in the bottom (I don't getting my hands dirty, just finished the 4th coat of Carlack68!).

Mine are a constant taugtness through the whole range. I havent looked to see if its possible yourself, but cant harm to try.

i hit a polo in france the other day with mine whilst we were going opposite dirction through a bend.

Polo's was a gonna and the F430's was unmarked and didn't budge!!

So pretty solid!!

If they have a fold ability, fold them and then unfold them that will cure it.
If they do not fold.... buy a Merc.
