I've mentioned this fix in past years as well, and also not too long ago, even put some photos up; but it never seems to be received enthusiastically. But once you find that you have to tighten to where the coils of the spring bind together, the reason is as Malcolm stated, as is the cure. Anything else leads to madness like having to pin the shaft because you yanked it out of the mirror head.* Pix here: https://picasaweb.google.com/117189706757545167023/VanagonSideMirrorRepair *Which I did myself once, and also bought a pair of aftermarket floppy mirrors before understanding what actually went wrong with the original ones and putting them back on Dutiful Passage where they served perfectly for many years.
