That little screw on the back of the mirror normally tightens them. Rusty Title: Re: Tightening swivel ball joint on mirror ??? Post by: mcl1959 on January 21, 2013, 05:54:43 PM When these are over tightened the dish on the back of the ball gets deformed and no longer holds the ball tightly, unfortunately the only way to fix properly is to remove the mirror and repair the dish and then replace the mirror

Post by: Stewy on January 21, 2013, 06:25:58 PM If you can remove the screw you might be able to put in the hole something of a slightly smaller diameter as a spacer to put a bit of pressure on the dish, but only if the thread in the housing hasn't been stripped.
If it is I would probably go the clear silicon once the mirror is in the correct position. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Tightening swivel ball joint on mirror ??? Post by: Maco on January 21, 2013, 09:15:58 PM Dave,
