My pass side mirror glass is loose inside the main body,but i cant see how to get in there to tighten it. All I get is a view of the tarmac instead of the cars behind me.
Any ideas?

69,its the racing type mirror. The glass i guess pivots on something behind it but its loose and just flops around.

Push in the left edge of the glass, and you'll see the machine screw that attaches it on the right side.

The RH mirror is not intended to reveal the cars behind you, so don't expect it to, it's supposed to cover the right lane of traffic.

Thanks,yeah I saw that and I actually already have the mirror piece out of its housing. There is a ball and socket right in the middle,and that is the bit that is loose. If it is pushed to the extent of its travel range,either,up down left or right, then it holds its position,but won't hold steady anywhere around the centre and just flops downward.
I can't see anywhere to adjust that bit,maybe I just need to replace it.
