I just received my item but the mirror does not have the pre-drilled holes to place the braces in for attachment? Has anyone had this problem?

It was not a good buy, was damaged at two places. They promised to send me new one, but they never did. I emailed them couple times, no results. Finally I gave up, I was very disappointed.

Yes I had the same problem. I was able to drill a couple of holes and mount it to the back.

Same problem, but I just screw right through it and it works out fine. I recommend drilling pilot holes first to make things easier.

Yes Debra I have the same problem. I haven't solved it yet. Pauline Zilberberg

It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin. I mounted mine over the mirror in my MDX. It popped off and the very thin, very dark mirror shattered. I it infield Amazon and was told that I had to deal with the seller who is in Asia. I had to pay $29 to mail this defective item to Asia. The post office cannot track packages overseas. It apparently never arrived so I lost the $169 I paid for the item, plus the $29 for mailing. Amazon would not back me up in any way, even though I have been an Amazon Prime member for years. Apparently you are not buying the item from Amazon, but from some random vendor in Asia. Save your money. It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin.

I am not happy with it due to the ..hindges? They don't hold and the mirror flops down continually. I have to stick a stopper in to use it.Light is good though. I found this same problem with a few of them now and am still looking for a good one.

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

In my case my bicycle handlebars have a hole at the end which was covered by a thick plastic. What I did was to pierced that plastic and stuck inside the bar of the mirror and adjusted it with its screw. I hope my explanation is clear since English is not my native language. Good luck!

This is a tricky part. You have to hold the mirror upright and fix from both sides, while the moving side doors stay free. You should have two screws for each side, to fix the mirror to the back, with two persons holding. Let me know if this helped. Thank you.

HI Bob, Just looked. It pivots, or hinges, in one axis once it is installed. This adjusts your view in and out. To adjust up or down you would need to adjust the bolt. It would pivot by loosening the bolt that expands inside the bar to hold the mirror in place. You would risk breaking the mirror by trying to pivot it once it is tightened. If you left it a little loose, you might be able to pivot it. Does that help?

I can feel the screw heads under the felt on both sides of the mirror. You would have to remove the felt or cut it to get to the screws.

I had to drill new holes for my cart. You might get lucky and have two of the existing holes on your cart line up. Good luck. The mirrors were okay and work well.

I noticed when I first got it too, but then saw that the installation instructions say "Please note that there is a protective cover/film on the mirrors surface so that it does not get scratched during shipping and handling. Ensure that this protective film cover is removed prior to use and cycling." The film isn't immediately obvious, but if you scratch with a fingernail at the edge, I suspect you'll find it (if you haven't removed it already).

Although the bracket apparently is not designed to be removed , does the mirror itself detach from the bracket? Thanks.

Make a custom bracket. We need more information in order to answer your question better. I have a large wood mirror that is being hung by a washer hook but it sounds like you have a different type of mirror.

If your post is long enough you can put it through one of the holes pre-drilled on the back side of the mirror and then put your back on it to hold it in place. Some can even be placed in a slot-type situation on that same bar.

Well...My daughter has been using it for about 1.5 months. I haven't used it personally, but checked it out. Here's my novel: The lower tube has a plastic insert at the top. The upper tube fits inside the plastic insert and telescopes up and down. The knurled center piece tightens the plastic insert so that the height can be adjusted. I had to tighten it fairly snug to prevent the upper tube with the mirror from sliding down. The "Y" frame that holds the mirror has a metal threaded insert pressed into the bottom of the "Y" that screws into the top of the upper tube. This can back-out if you try to swivel the mirror side-to-side. I need to put some Lock-Tite on these threads. I know this isn't what you asked but bear with me. Because of the way the stand is designed as I described, I do not think the mirror is supposed to swivel along the axis of the tube (back 'n' forth). But the mirror is supposed to swivel upon the horizontal axis (two points attached at the top of the "Y" frame). There is a plastic bushing on the little shaft at either side of the mirror. These ride inside the holes at top part of the "Y" frame. There is a knurl nut that threads onto both sides to hold the mirror in place. A plastic washer goes between the nut and the "Y" frame. Now for your question after my novel! LOL! My daughter's mirror never got "stuck" when I rotated the mirror along the horizontal axis. But I did notice that it tightened up a little. This was from the right knurl nut tightening as I spun the mirror top towards me. I am going to put Lock-Tite on the both of the knurl nut threads to prevent the nut from spinning at all. Hope this helped. All-n-all, I'd say this is a worth while buy for the price.

Sorry, I will have to look, I've never noticed it and really am not sure if it is there. I love this mirror!

When we purchased ours a few months ago, there was not a matching mirror that we could find. We ended up purchasing one separately.

Sorry for the defect, take it back to the store & get it replaced, if not contact the company direct. My mirror does not have such an issue.
