How to adjust mirror? I feel like I have to force it to angle up or down, almost sounds like the plastic is going to snap. Am I missing something?

On the first mirror I bought over a year ago, the mirror angled up & down easily by just pushing it. However, after about 9 mo it wouldn't stay in position. It's a plastic pivot with detents for each position. Toilet Tree sent me a new unit and the design is similar but much tighter. After you mount it to wall you just push/pull to the angle desired. You are not missing anything. It remains to be seen how it holds up over time.

Gently spread the yoke apart and then set appropriate angle....A plastic nipple will slip into hole to set proper angle....

Put one hand on the top, & one hand on the bottom & apply firm pressure until it moves. It starts out very stiff, but eventually loosens up somewhat.

Email the seller. I had a small issue and the owner emailed me back same day and fixed the solution immediately.

Yes the tilting bracket is very stiff. I believe this to prevent mirror from easily changing on its own or from a mild bump. Unless you have more than one user I found once set I don't change mine. I would suggest if you need to move yours more often try lubricating the pivot area with shampoo or liquid soap and adjust slowly with equal pressure on both sides of mirror.

The user simply must pivot the mirror up and down. It snaps into pre-set positions, thus the feeling that you have to force it. There are no buttons or levers or anything you have to worry about. Simply pivot it up and down and it will snap into place. Hopefully that answers your question! :)

It will not snap. There is ratchet mechanism with engaging teeth. To adjust the tilt, push toward the wall (or pull toward you) the the base of the mirror. It will remain in place in the final position.

The bar is perpendicular to the mirror, but you can slide the clamp on in either direction. The shape of the mirror will mean you get a slightly different view depending on orientation, but with this mirror I haven't found it to be that different. I agree with J Petty that you need to avoid scratching it--it's not made of gorilla glass :-)

Hi - The mirror will tilt and hold position well. Within 3 months the ballast went out in the mirror I purchased from Amazing DEALS Online and I got no help from them or Amazon.

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.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

Take mirror off of car rear mirror. Select the middle button, press until you get the setting you want to adjust. Then the high button is to increase, the lower button is to decrease. Brightness, contrast, color, and language...

I got the wide mirror, which is vertical, but was unable to make it work. When mounted, the mirror is in front of your leg and all I could see was my leg. It pivots up and down, but not side to side.

There are 2 knobs that adjust the tightness of the mirror, I've not had a problem with it flipping unless you make it flip.

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

Yes it can be adjusted. You need to find what works for you by twisting the mirror or the shaft.

Yes, the mirror can be manually adjusted by using hands, fingers or a thumb and pressing on the mirror to reposition. BUT, you should be able to find a manual mirror; not sure if it would be less expensive.

This is an issue for me too. Having had the mirror for quite a while now, I have gotten used to positioning it so that if I turn my head slightly to the left (I have the mirror positioned on the left of my helmet), I can see past my shoulder. My problem now is that the adhesive is starting to wear off.

You will need to cut the very end of your rubber handle grip off, like slicing off the tip of a cigar. Then push grip back on. The mirror has a "L" shape bracket which you slide thru the hole off the rubber grip which slides into the opening of the handle bar. There is a Allen screw at the end off the mirror bracket on the outside. Tighten Allen and it spreads the mechanism you pushed thru end of handle grip that went into handle bar. It spreads and tightens inside of handle bar. Very easy to do and best mirror I have used.

No it isn't adjustable. I find that it is high enough. The mirror is oval shaped, so I think that makes it appear higher.

This actually becomes your rearview mirror. Imagine having a small mirror in your bedroom/bathroom and then putting a bigger mirror clipped right on top of it. You now have a bigger mirror without altering the original smaller mirror behind it.I hope this was helpful.

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.

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