Okay all you Spyder Gurus out there, I need some helpful suggestions to resolve a problem with my mirrors. I couldn't see behind me (for changing lanes etc.) as well as I wished to so I purchased a nice of Mirror Extenders developed for the Spyder. Now they resolved my viewing problem, but no matter how I have tried to tighten them up to stay in place the wind just keeps folding them back toward me while clipping along. I have contemplated wrapping the bolt threads with teflon tape or applying blue loc-tite on them or both then screw them down tight to get the mirrors to stay in place, but thought I would pick other Spyder Riders' brains (especially those who have mirror extenders also) to see if anyone else has encountered the same problem and how he or she resolved the problem. I will look for responses here, but I would appreciate an email also at polardawn@hotmail.com with the subject "Spyder Mirror Resolution". Thanks in advance.
