Tightening Mirrors
I've now got my mirrors fitted, but the drivers side is very loose where the stalk goes into the mirror housing. I Don't know why as
they're new mirrors, and the passenger side is fine.
Does anybody know how to tighten it up?

sadly, my first post will be...
You'll have to remove the glass I suspect. The attaching device (devise) is in there.

To avoid breaking the glass, you could try easing out the flexible cover to see if thre is an adjuster there. I have what look like the same mirrors
and at the other end there is an adjuster that works with a hex key, so you might be lucky?

On mine (look same as yours) you pull back the gaitor and there is an adjustor inside there. I mounted mine to the car then rolled the gaitor back.
Made adjustments, tightened up and rolled the gaitor back down.
Dont touch the glass end - very easily broken. Take a lot of care when tweaking the mirror aim after tightening up. If you twist the mirror head the
glass will crack.
