rolling mirror problems

Post by purple »

My mirror won't stay in place. It's the round ball joint? that attaches the mirror to the arm. The mirror moves counterclockwise and clockwise. I tried tape, but I'm sure the vibrations will make it come loose soon. Any
suggestions for a permanent fix? Thanks!

Loose Mirror Pivot

Post by MYSCTR »

We had this happen at 400 miles on a brand new Buddy!

Stopped in at University Scooters - they swapped it out for brand new (under warrenty). I did not want to mess with it while under warrenty of take the chance on scratching or breaking the mirror!

Good to go... :wink:

I've had this happen to me twice now, both times my fault. :oops:
First time was the one and only time I've wrecked. Second time was being OCD about mirror orientation and worked the bolt loose. The first time, I found that thread that was linked. Second time it went much faster. ;)
Simple fix!

I find the WMS fix gets quicker every time. I've done it about half a dozen times now - takes me all of 2 minutes once the mirror is off the scooter.

My scooter does this, too. It happened one time while I was actually riding and I had to wait until we stopped to put it back in place. I usually check to make sure the mirrors are secure before riding now.
