    Does anyone have any pictures showing how I can tighten the rear view mirror on my 246gts. I don't see any external screws on the housing and am nervous about starting to pry anything off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Finally. I just "popped" off the mirror (housing + stem) using a screw driver. The stem fits into a spring loaded ball fitting which is screwed into the top frame of the windshield by two philips head screws. Tightening the screws fixed the problem then I just pushed the mirror back on to the ball assembly.

    well done!
    probably feels good, not having that thing rattling around as you drive!

    That's my mirror!

    It's not loose....but all I can see with it is the engine lid.

    I'm assuming the only reason it exist is so you can watch for a fire in the engine compartment.

    Likewise, my side mirror only shows the engine air intake scoop; certainly designed to see if birds get stuck in the scoop.

    What'sa behind me? It no amatter!
