No need for striping Antony, At the front and rear of the base of the mirror is a small plastic flap. behind one is an allen key grub screw. Give it a spray with WD40 then try tightening it a little. Sometimes the mounting lug that it attaches to gets distorted and you will need to remove the morror and bent the lug back down slightly. |

Antony, Paul is quite right. At the rear of the mirror base mount is a flap with the above mentioned grub screw. Mine had exactly the same issue with a 'wobbly' passenger mirror. I found this little screw and with a quick 1/4 turn its now firm and secure. J |
