[The-Womble]

Model: Rover Sprite
Year: 1993
Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible):
Recently my drivers' side wing mirror seems to have become pretty loose, so whenever I go over a bump in the road or go at over about 30mph, the mirror just flops inwards and I have to keep stopping and moving it back outwards.
Is there any way I can tighten it up? I thought it was just a ball joint, like your pelvis bone

Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

Yes, pop the small square (ish) cover off and there are 2 screws holding it onto door and a nut for tightening the mirror part.

Ah right, ok. Cheers

Is this the same for tex door mirrors as well?

Yes, pop the small square (ish) cover off and there are 2 screws holding it onto door and a nut for tightening the mirror part.

The big nut in the same location is more likely... No? ?
Edit: sorry, just read it properly. ?
