Subject:Re: Passenger Mirror Again

I used sandpaper and roughed-up the ball area on the mirror, then took a
punch and hammered around on the ball and edge of the socket.  I took a
700 mile round trip over the weekend, and the mirrors did not move.  I
noticed that the ball is metal; hopefully this will begin to rust and
provide further stability to the troublesome mounting.  This seemed to
work for me.
