Title: mirrors
Post by: Justink on June 13, 2010, 09:36:15 PM

So the mirrors on my cherokee SUCK.  I cannot adjust them from the inside, and when I adjust them from the outside they just wobble right back.  I am not opposed to power mirrors, but was wondering if there was a good manual mirrir upgrade ( like maybe a 98+ set) 
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that most owners of older Cherokees suffer from this problem. Just jam a small piece of folded up cardboard or an appropriately sized  piece of wood under the corner of the mirror. It will stay in your desired setting for a suprisingly long time. Uber-ghetto mod but it's a freakin old Cherokee dude.

HTH

well I tried silicone but the mirror cracked when i was tweaking it, hence needing a new set.
