Rear view Mirror very loose

I cannot remember how but you can take it off the screen and fix the slack in it, did mine over 20 years ago.

 

I’d like to know as well. Same problem.

Mine has a small Allen screw in a deep hole recess in the bottom of the mirror mounting stock.

 

Mine was loose, I too thought it was at the ball, but it was the stalk, tightened the screw and all was fine. There is no new mirror available, if you ordered one new you get the 355 mirror, which does not have the detachable stalk. You would need to pry the old glued on glass mount loose, without breaking the windshield and glue the new one on - that look very risky to me, and windshields are becoming very scarce. Before I realized the stalk tightening trick, I in fact mail ordered a new one in the yellow horsey box, and was quite disappointed it was the 355 superceded item.

I could see no way to remove that ball, must be retained with a circlip from inside the mirror, but it did not look like there was a way to remove the mirror without damaging it.

 

Do you recall what you used to tighten it?

Use an allen key, I can't recall the size but it is a small, metric key that worked, it is fairly deep up in the hole.

 

Correction, a small flathead screwdriver is required, it is a soft brass screwbolt.
