Loose rear view mirror

[diesel_lv]

1967 Coronet. Does anyone know how to add friction to the rear view mirror? I looked all over for some kind of set screw, no luck. When I accelerate at a normal pace, the mirror swings and I'm constantly readjusting it. Thanks in advance.

Do you have a fixed post with just a ball & socket in the back or a joint at the top as well?

In moparnation's thread https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/mopa...e-for-my-father-my-69-gtx-restoration.127388/ He removed a mirror from the mount without breaking it. Probably near end, if it's there.

Unscrew it from the roof.
Snug up the hidden screws.

I've tightened the ball sockets on outside door mirrors with blue locktite before. I added a few drops and adjusted the mirror to where I want it and let it dry up. It is still able to be adjusted too but tighter.

That is what I was thinking on those same lines to use lock tight.

The inside mirror on my 71 charger was doing that. Put a small piece of electrical tape on ball and it has been great since

Thanks for all the replies. I have the one piece with just a ball. I will try removing it and looking for the "hidden" screw.

The tensioning screws are on the top of the mounting plate where it mounts to the roof. If it's a one piece arm with a ball/socket at the back of the mirror that method wouldn't apply.
