Always thought the outside mirrors were seized and would not adjust. Removed the passenger side mirror to replace the cracked mirror. I found that the vertical shaft is six sided and not adjustable once installed, only the horizontal plane is adjustable. Am I missing something?

with the mirror removed, invert, and squirt PB Blaster, let soak a day. next day, the nut should be able to taken off with a socket, disassemble and clean off all the corrosion, there is a coil spring in that shaft area. on reassembly, don't torque too tightly, otherwise you can strain the the mounting base to the point of cracking, then you'll need to source a mirror base. i have never been inside where the glass is mounted, so the only thing I have ever done is sprayed silicone where the mirror pivots.
