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.
