It’s fine with adjusting up and down. It’s seriously loose with the in and out. At any speed it just folds in. Trying to figure out if it’s the nut behind the glass or at the base of the stem itself. Then… how to get to it! TIA

Take mirror off and turn it over, 10mm nut should be visible. Tighten up and reinstall.
