Rear view mirror constantly drooping

[forestb]

Ever since I bought this truck my rear view mirror that is bolted to the sealing is always coming loose and drooping. It is not loose at the ball that goes onto the back of the mirror but rather where the 2 prongs of the arm bolt to the single arm that is supposed to be clamped between the two prongs. What have other people done to solve this problem?

Sounds like a good idea. Is the lock tight on the threads only or do you think it is also on the shaft where it goes through the center tab?

I applied to the threads, adjusted in place and tighten. Left it for quite some time before i drove again, so cant say how long it took to cure . But its working at this stage. The screw on mine is full thread and phillips drive, so dont know if it is correct one.
Many things has been done or changed by the previous owners.
I can write books about it thru the years with cars i had and some i still have.

Cheers.
