Hopefully a simple question. Does anyone know how to tighten the ball joint that the rearview mirror is held in.
Mine is too loose and the mirror constantly needs moving back to position

i'm pretty certain that there is a small phillips headed screw on the back of the balljoint

 

Found it, sorted, Thanks for your help

 

A very old post - 2001 !! but have excactly the same problem with my own interior mirror on my blobeye, sure there is not a philips headed screw on the newer blobeye so just wonder if anyone has came across this before and found a cure ??!!!

 

I had the same problem on a Ford Escort. I snapped the ball out of the joint, and snapped it back in again after putting some quite thick polythene like used for damp-proof membranes across the hole.
It tightened it up no end, and I trimmed the plastic that showed.

Alternatively, remove the whole mirror, screw a self tapper into the rear, then remove it, grind the end flat and screw it in again. Use a blackened self-tapper, or paint it black.

 

Perfect mate appreciatet the advice, actually managed to get a spare mirror now but just be handy to get this original one fixed.
