Somewhere in the archives a poster describes a process in which (iirc) one has a machine shop tap out that hexagonal hole for a bolt, thereby facilitating a permanent fix. I was going to do that until I stripped my second project van. Now I have non-floppy former power mirrors, a conversion I highly recommend. I also took the harness parts, and intend to wire it up this fall. Like a few other things on these vans, those mirrors are just not worth the continued aggravation.
