Floppy mirror

[Dustdevl340]

My Duster has a manual driver's side mirror that flops around like a gaffed salmon. Is there any way to fix this short of replacing it? Otherwise it looks fine, just a little bit of pitting barely noticeable so I'd rather fix it then spend any money on a replacement.

Thanks for any help.

I read in Mopar Action magazine that a dab of Krazy Glue on the ball and rotate it around to spread it, should tighten it up

never read that, but that's the way I fixed the rearview mirror in my Duster.

supposedly you can remove the mirror & there is 3 small screws that will tighten up the swivel. I believe there is a snap ring holding said mirror in place --good luck removing without breaking ,Lawrence

x2, I have successfully tightened more than a few by removing the mirror, removing the spring steel retainer that is held with s3 crews inside, cleaning/lubing and reassembling and tightening to my liking. This both gets rid of the slop, but also allows you to continue adjusting it when desired.

Actually it is the mirror on the driver's side door.

My passenger mirror is floppy, I took it apart to fix it, lasted a lil bit but came loose again shortly after

I successfully tightened mine that way. I had to remove it and soak it with PB Blaster for a couple days, then cuss and swear a lot, but I got the screws loose. I put a small washer on the screws to take up some of the slack, then I put a dab of anti seize on them and cranked them down tight.

From another thread.....

I had the same problem, unfortunately you have to take out the mirrored glass to tighten it up. The problem I had was the glass broke when I attempted to remove it, so I got 2 new pieces of glass cut just in case. So if you can remove the glass without breaking it, it's easy. 2 small screws and tighten them to where the mirror has some friction but not to much, I also used some lock tight on them. 4 years later still good.

This was the mirror for the Demon.
