Gary, I had this problem for several years and finally decided to call Ross and White and ask them. They indicated that you need "low density" brushes at the sections where the mirrors would come in contact with the brushes. My Ross & White was 12 years old and we had never replaced the brushes. Each column of brushes is actually (6) individual sections high. We measured the height of our mirrors on all our buses and ordered "low density brushes" for those sections which were mirror height. Since we installed them the situation has improved but we still experience some problems but at a reduced rate and reduced severity. Since I needed new brushes anyway I,m definitely glad we went with the low density brushes. I had spoken with Mike Holzer at Ross & White. |

I use a 2 brush Ross and White, and yes, the mirrors usually have to be adjusted after going through the wash. I've always looked at it as a minor inconvenience. I think with this type system it's unavoidable and the mirrors aren't being ripped off. Dennis |

Is there anyone using a Ross and White 4 brush system that is having mirrors pulled/moved out of position when washing the bus. Is there anyone not having their mirrors moved and what is the secret. Mirrors overtightened/shorter brissels on the brushes, what? I have some that keep moving and close to breaking the glass on the entrance door. Thoughts |
