Please help me with this. Can someone please tell me how to get this mirror together? I cannot figure out this tiny clip....

It goes into the hole and the screw goes through it. The clip provides the tension for you to adjust the mirror. Squeeze it in there with needlenose pliers. Just did mine.

I know it seems woerd because of the threads and all but the top of the screw is smooth.

Thanks for the reply. That is how I initially had it together. That clip offers zero resistance... I ended up cranking the screw down to just about stripping. Oh well thats what I get for cheap repo!

Yeah, mine was like that too but in the end it moves pretty good.
