Rearview Mirror, Outside - Vibration
Group Ref.: Body
Bulletin No.: 461001
Date: April, 1994
SUBJECT:
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATION
(INSTALL SET SCREW FASTENER)
MODELS:
1982-93 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK S/T PICKUPS
1983-94 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK S/T UTILITIES WITH D44 OR D45 MIRRORS
CONDITION:
Some owners may comment that their outside rear view mirrors vibrate.
CAUSE:
Force is applied against the mirror arm by a retention spring wedged between the mirror bracket and mirror arm to prevent mirror rotation. Over time,
this spring force decreases allowing the mirror arm to move or vibrate.
CORRECTION:
This condition can be corrected by drilling and tapping a hole in the retention spring to accept a set screw fastener. The fastener can be adjusted to force
the spring against the mirror arm, restoring the original pressure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
1.
From outside the vehicle, remove the screws which secure the mirror cover and the mirror assembly to the door (Figure 1).
2.
Remove the mirror assembly from the door.
3.
Remove the mirror head and arm from the mirror bracket.
