Maybe you are having this problem: https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-f...e-mirrors.html

There is a cheap pot metal bracket that holds the mirror to the door. Evidently it has a tendency to fatigue crack over time and leave the mirror to flop around in the wind.

Anyone know how to get the cross to snap in to the mirror housing motor? None of my components are broken(yet), but the cross won't snap in. It looks like the glass might have been put on after the cross was snapped in when it was originally built.
