I'm having trouble tightening the screw on the side to keep the mirror steady I have to put something between the mirror and light to keep the mirror horizontal. Any suggestions?

For this price, I would send it back. It sounds as if the screw or the hole that the screw goes into has been stripped. Hence, the mirror not keeping its horizontal position. I haven't had any problems with mine so far.

I have bought 2 of these and have had the same problem on both. The mirror doesn't stay where you put it and the adjustable arm also wears out a doesn't stay where you put it. We have fixed it numerous times but it's only a temporary fix. Still broke..... I'm buying a different brand this time around. Maybe the zadro that has a different mechanism that hold the mirror in place will work better but I'm not taking the chance.

I checked my daughters light and I didn't see anything to tighten. I assume that maybe one of the little round circles on the side of the base might pop off and that maybe you could then get to a screw to tighten. I didn't want to pop anything off on hers in case I'm wrong and it couldn't be put back on. Her mirror is still really tight where it just stays wherever it is placed. Could you fold a small piece of paper and put between the outer ring and the mirror itself and wedge it in such a way that it will stay put where you want it? Sorry I couldn't be of any more help than that.

Both horizontal and vertical mounting hardware is attached to the mirror. But, in either case, alignment and attachment to wall anchors is both difficult and aggravating.

One more thing that I read Frank response, make sure that tighten these screws and secure because it stays there for a long time in 3 years. It depends on which vehicle's side view mirrors that have vibration because not because of this wide angle mirrors. Some vehicles have poor secure original side view mirrors which can shake and vibration, mostly pickup trucks, some vans and some SUV as well.

On the right of the mirror there are two screws. Turn them clockwise 90 degrees (a dime works nicely) and the mirror will lift off. After replacing the batteries put the mirror back in place and turn the screws counter-clockwise (a light pressure on the mirror will hold it in place until the screws are turned.

Think it needs to be mounted. The razor holder/shelf wouldn't balance the mirror.

I have not changed my as yet, the following is the instructions from the instruction book, good luck. Lower the mirror to its most flat position. Use a credit card to remove the lens cover. Remove bulb by pushing away from the bulb socket. Install new bulb by aligning the pins with the socket, push bulb into socket. a click should be heard

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.

Mine came attached to the bars, but the wall mount was separate. Try to attach it so the mirror revolves on its axis.Sorry not to be of more help.

Mine wanted to flip to the magnified side, too, but I cut a small sliver out of an adhesive chair pad and stuck it on the side of the mirror. It gives just enough friction to keep the mirror in place, and you can still flip it when you want without it being seen. Problem solved.

put lock tight on the screws and let dry per directions, mine have not been loose since. you have to put it on correctly or it will not work.

I had the same problem... It doesn't work really well. You can see a small space with a screw. Go there with something really small... You need to be really carefull... For me it worked

I just remember to tighten the screw every once in awhile by hand and it is fine. Mine never would swivel so loosely so that it would flip sides. It is no big deal and I hardly ever think about needing to turn the screw a little. I love my mirror and wonder how I ever put on my makeup without it!

We used the hardware that came with the mirror and hung into drywall. The two flathead screws provided clip easily into the mounts on the back of the mirror. We asked a local hardware some about a more "Decorative" style to hang (i.e. ribbon) and you can do that easily by super gluing the ribbon or other material to the back to give you the look you want. But first I would suggest using the hanging hardware provided.

For me personally, the little mirror gets in my way. I wish mine would come off. I Would probably use super glue....

I tried to find out the same thing, and couldn't get an answer. I ended up buying a mirror separately, and it looks fine.

The unevenness may create a problem for your *mirror*, as it won't have a continuous solid wall behind it. But the mirror brackets shd perform as intended.

My table didn't had holes for the screws and the mirror didn't Had holes either, you just have to make ur own little holes on the mirror and the table. I did that and it came out perfectly.
