I've tried the archives but no luck. I'm pretty sure I've seen several tips on this before. It's on a 67 and is so loose that the wind on the highway tilts it. Thanks in advance!

I read where you can remove the glass and put a few drops of loctight on the pivot ball. I never tried it

Here's an article by a fellow forum member that might help.

I've had good success with green or blue Loctite applied directly on the ball without disassembly. May have to be repeated every few years depending upon use.

I was able to peen the rivets to snug it up. Easier than drilling and tapping.

Yeah the green is designed for pre-assembled parts -- it will wick into the gaps.

hi, make sure you do not use car for at least 24 hours so that the Loctite can set. Most failures occur because the car is driven too soon and the mirror will move....

I have always used a nice ***** punch on the ball with good success.

I second using an automatic center punch on the pivot ball. Worked for me!

I tried the LocTite, SuperGlue liquid and one other trick with liquid something on the ball. Held for a couple of weeks until the door slammer got into the car. Please don't ask me to identify the culprit (it would cost me house and home).

Finally tried Gel Superglue.

Remove wax and polish from the ball and mirror with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
Cut a hole in a piece of good masking tape the same OD as the hole in the back of the mirror (I used a gasket hole punch).
Cut the tape in half at the center of the hole in the mirror and apply.
Position the mirror where you want it, take it off without disturbing the position.

Lay it on the bench and apply the Gel Superglue trying not to leave any on the tape. I wiped off the excess with Qtips.

12 hours later, I put it back on the car.

I can no longer reposition the mirror with normal force.

Don't want to get STUPID and start over. I don't want to ask the door slammer to move the passenger's side mirror up a little and look at Mars nor down a little and to see the stripe on the side of the road. She is also my GPS (Goofy Position Sensor).

Mirror on my 66 coupe would never stay adjusted. I noticed that bow tie was on bottom of mirror.Rotated Bow tie to top of mirror corrected problem

I wouldn't buy anything from her. Bought a "restored" 1967 interior rearview mirror from her 2 years back in October. Two weeks after installing the mirror, the car went into storage until April. Found the rubber encased glass portion of the mirror on the floor. She said she never had that happen before but agreed to repair it. Come September, once again I find the rubber encased glass portion separating from the metal frame. Her response is how to repair it but refuses to accept that this is an item that is hardly touched or moved, not driven over rough roads or abused in any way in a 6 month time frame. Whatever silicone product she uses to attach the mirror to the metal frame, it doesn't work. If this was a one time failure, why not stand behind her work and warranty my claim?
