I bought a set of mirrors when I was just starting my restoration. When I opened the new mirror I looked inside the mount and saw a nut there that looked like it might increase the tension on the ball joint. I pulled off my old mirror and lo'n'behold, it had one o' them nuts, too. I tightened it, put it back on, and it quit blowing back to the window when in high wind or highway. mike (pmail me if you are in the market for a set of opened, but otherwise completely unused mirrors.)
