Since I've owned the car, the wing mirrors just wont stay in place, they sit there while the cars still, but when moving or playing loud music they just fall down and give me a nice view of the roads, which is great for parking, but not much else

They're GLX manual ones, nothing posh
Anyone got ideas of how to fix it?
used bluetack for a while but even that wore off.

Tried some silicone or something like that Blaine?

hmm, how so though?
as in stick a large enough bit in to glue the mirror in place?
like between mirror and enclosure?

theres a fair gap on the 2nd gens, not sure about it

Is it possible to remove the mirror from the housing? then silicone it? or maybe jsut replace them?

i think so, but from what i've read its recomended against, tuff said he broke like 3 mirrors trying to stick his back in.

might consider trying a power mirrors conversion or something
