I too experienced this issue on my 180. A quick trip to the hardware store for some screw in "mirror clips" resolved the issue. You can leave the adhesive strips on the back and place the mirror clips around the perimeter (I used 3, one at the top at 12 o'clock and two at the bottom in the 4 o'clock & 8 o'clock positions). Mine has been fine ever since.

Check Lowe's or Home Depot, or any other proper hardware store. If all else fails, check Amazon.

I cleaned all the strips off the back and wall in 180 with goo gone then wiped down with alcohol and got new LockTite strips and pressed to wall. We have been over some rough roads this week to even the point the hangers of clothes in the closet came off but the mirror hasn't moved so I guess problem is solved.

Yep, I'm still fine with mine as well, using LocTite.

Were you able to find a new mirror?
I'm in a little trouble - the mirror had fallen off during the time it was at the dealer. I asked them to NOT put it back on the wall because I knew it would fall off again - I figured it would be pressing my luck to have it fall again and not break. The guy at the dealership went ahead and stuck it on the wall as I stood there in disbelief - it's not like I hadn't bought the thing, so why in the world would he just ignore me?
So, sure enough, it fell again. It didn't break, but it did land on its feet in such a way that it was sitting vertically just behind the sink, where it again attached itself to the wall. The falling off thing must be gravity related because it has steadfastly refused to budge. I managed to break it while trying to get it unstuck. Now I need a replacement. |

We had this mirror as long as we had our Pod, and it never fell, partly because it's light. We attached it with three of the 3M adhesive strips next to the bathroom door, above the control panel.

Our glass mirror inside the bathroom of our 2017 R Pod 180 fell off the wall. We replaced it with a much lighter in weight plastic mirror. The double sided tape seems to hold it in place. It is unclear to me for what reason Forest River did not use the lighter in weight plastic mirror in the first place rather than the heavy glass mirror. This is another example of the many quality problems we have seen with our R Pod. It was easily fixed (by me at my own expense and time), but, nevertheless, it was an unexpected (by me as the customer) problem. And, frankly, it was an easily foreseeable problem that never should have occurred.

Well, this is obviously a common problem in the 180....mine fell off yesterday. We had traveled 200 or so miles home and when it was parked in the driveway, I heard a loud thud. Luckily the glass did not break. Will look into the mirror clips and hope for the best.
