I just picked up a used interior rear view mirror in nice shape, except the pivot ball mechanism is loose so that the mirror wobbles around. Is there any easy way to tighten these up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Thanks. |

Well, it seems as though my quick fix has worked - at least for now. I used two 1/4 wide strips of electrical tape in the socket, overlapped in a basket weave fashion. It was difficult to push the ball back into the socket, but once it snapped in it now has a pretty decent feel to it. Try it and recycle an old mirror..
