    Anyone know how you would tighten up a loose remote mirror? I took one apart that the cables had been cut on, and couldn't think of an obvious way to do it. Tension on the cables seems to be part of what keeps it tight. I suppose it might be possible to tighten those at the control. Anyone tried that?

    I fixed that problem by putting the handle end in a vise and squeezing it slightly to put some pressure on the ball end of the cable ... Im sorry but i dont know the technical terms for the parts but the little handle that you move to adjust the mirror has a little ball on the end of it and i simply squashed the housing around it to tighten it up ... worked for me ...
