I have seen a liquid on one of the sites that you put a few drops on the ball and socket and it will make it harder to move. I don't know how it works but on mine I just mixed some salt and water, put on a few drops and within a couple days it got real hard to move because of the corrosion. WW

It might be the motor that is bad. Does it move properly? If so, your adjustment wheels might be worn. Then you can replace it. I might have a couple that are ok that way. If it is the mirror, you have to replace it. BTW, forget viagra. Get Cialis. It lasts longer. As they say in Full Metal Jacket, "She, love you long time."

Well, maybe you fit the stereotypical Vette owner that has money to burn and does 
but think about this.
Terminal Half Life of Viagra 4 hrs
Terminal Half Life of Cialis 17.5 hrs
Given that they cost the same, where do YOU think you will get the most bang for the buck? Every wonder why they call it "The Weekender"? Why do you think my wife will tell her patients which way to go to get the best bang for the buck?
Come on. Cialis love you good. Boom-boom long time.

Reminds me of the joke:
Who is the most popular man in a swinger camp?
The guy who can hold a cup of coffee in each hand and a dozen doughnuts on his pole.
Who is the most popular girl in a swinger camp?
The girl who can get the last doughnut without using her hands.

Back to the original problem, I had the same problem with my mirror and what I did is replaced the ball and socket. This is done by using a high speed cutoff wheel and cutting both ends of it and replacing it with one from another mirror. What I did was thread both ends and used a 6/32 screw with the cap cut off to add strength. I also glued it with j and b weld. My mirror stays put now. I just did not want to go for the cost of a mirror. (mines lighted) If you don't understand what I am talking about I could draw a pic and scan it in.
