    Rear View Mirror Vibrations (not good)

    Hi,

    Is my Puma the only one with a next to useless rear view mirror which vibrates so much you can see a shape behind but no detail?

    I thought of some sort of brace to fit off the windscreen to stiffen it up. Has anyone done similar?

    Cheers,

    Andrew

    I haven't seen a defender/county one yet that doesn't. You do get used to it. Maybe that is what is wrong with my eyes.

    Earlier Puma's most likely have shorter screws securing the mirror to the door hinge which come loose (seen this on my mated 2010 compared to a mine)
