 May I suggest that you check that your nuts are tight
 (oops, no pun intented...;-) to avoid finding yourself
 in the same situation. It's quite easy to do if you
 remove the bottom plastic cap (the one that hides the
 third bottom screw). >>

sTinkerman,

If you keep trying to screw with my nuts, I'm going to have to send Mike
Miller to "straighten" you out.

If you are still unable to repair this in the next day or so, I can try to
disassemble one of my mirrors to see how it comes together.

If you must temporarily repair the mirror, try duct-tapping it into position
until you can effect satisfactory repairs.
