IIRC prior to the mirror being assembled, the head had 2 long studs, After it was assembled to the base a thin sort of concave (or convex?) piece of metal was slipped over the twin posts, then the posts were peened down like a rivit. I took one apart this afternoon and there doesn't appear to be an way to tighten things up. It might be possible to get a real thin piece of shim stock between the ball and the metal but not even sure about that. Might be best to locate one that's got a tight mirror head.

I'd be interested a remedy for this also, as both of mine are loose. Also, what were they thinking on the location of the passenger side mirror? Mine is mostly blocked by the went window frame. harry skalla wrote:Clear DayLet me ask this question one more time. My side view mirror on my 64 Dodge 440, that is the mirror part is loose as a goose. I know there is a way to tighten it, I did it on my 62 Dodge, but I sure can't remember how to do it. I take the snap ring off and then the mirror, but I don't see any screw or anything to tighten it. Anyone remember how to tighten the mirror part on the side mirror?
