How can I tighten up the friction on the front window's rear view mirror. The round connecting section between the window mount and the mirror itself does not seem to be split or have any screw(s) to allow me to tighten it up. Is there a trick to it?

There's a long flat blade screw that holds the two pieces together.
You should be able to see the screw hole at the bottom of the arm hanging down from the mount.

Not my thread, but thanks for the tip as mine requires tightening as well and I have the two piece mirror as described.
