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

Also depends on whether you have an original or an aftermarket. My RH mirror is aftermarket and the body is chrome plastic. I also needed to tighten the nut underneath. If it’s “folding in” that’s what you need to tighten. I actually turned down a 10mm socket to fit, the space was really tight.

I also ground down a cheap 10mm to use as a “mirror” socket. |
