Default Driver Side rear view mirror

Has anyone purchased a new reproduction driver's side rear view mirror lately for a 1970? I'm wondering how well they hold their position and who best to buy from. Mine seems to move around a lot both at the base & the head portion where the glass is mounted. Looks like it's time for a new one. Thanks for the advice.

The mirror on my 69 was flopping. At 55-60 MPH, it wouldn't hold adjustment.

Just bought a new repro dated mirror from Paragon. NICE and tight. Chuck
