Yeah, you remove the two Phillips screws to unmount the mirror.  Underneath
that mounting shoe is a nut with a spring and ball type assembly.  If you
tighten the nut, you tighten the spring, which puts pressure/tension on the
ball and makes the mirror less likely to be blown in the wind... caution,
over tightening can make mirror adjusting too difficult and may crack your
mirror.
