Side Mirror Socket- 69
Is there any way to tighten up the ball and socket. The mirror is original and chrome is perfect but if you close the door a bit hard or even look at it the wrong way the mirror moves on the ball. Is there anything that I can do or something I can "lube" the ball with that will tighten this up? Sure glad it only has the drivers side outside mirror.....

If you remove the glass (soak it in gas for a while) then place a "c" washer around the ball under the tensioner, that should help put more tension on the ball to reduce the movement. You can then replace the glass with some silicone adhesive.
Hope that helps.
