I have a 2001 CLK 430 (Uk) with 80,000 miles - and both external mirrors are loose and move about 1/4 inch when driving.
Does anyone know if they can be tightened? and if so can i do it myself (i.e no special tool required)

thanks
John

Hey John, check this out. It is a link to a thread with a diagram of our mirrors. I believe that #1 on the diagram is a nut you can tighten. Hope this helps!!!

Make sure the metal clip behind the top of the mirror is secured to the black plastic mount.
