How do you tighten the rear view mirror on a Chrysler Le Baron 1994 convertible?

The rearview mirror on a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron convertible (and most cars of that era) is typically held in place by a simple clamping mechanism. There's no complex screw adjustment. It likely attaches to the windshield with a small, spring-loaded clamp or a base with a friction fitting.

To tighten it, you'll generally need to:

1. Gently try to push the mirror's base towards the windshield. There's likely a bit of give to the clamping mechanism. Firm but gentle pressure applied in the right spot often suffices. Sometimes a slight twisting motion while pushing can help.

2. Check for adjustment knobs or screws on the mirror's base. Some mirrors might have a small screw or knob on the bottom or side of the base that allows you to tighten the clamp. Look closely; it's usually small and inconspicuous.

3. If you can see the mounting mechanism behind the mirror: If the mirror is loose enough that you can see how it attaches to the windshield, you might be able to gently adjust or tighten any visible fasteners. Be very careful not to break anything.

4. If nothing works: The mirror's mounting bracket might be broken or worn out. This would require replacing the mirror. You can find replacement mirrors at auto parts stores (be sure to specify it's for a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron convertible) or online.

Important Note: Avoid excessive force. Forcing the mirror could damage the windshield or the mirror itself. If you're unsure about how to proceed, it's best to take your car to a mechanic or an auto glass repair shop. They have the tools and experience to handle this safely.
