CF Mirror Problem
Out of nowhere, my CF mirror became loose. The part there the mirror connects to the base, there is this metal ball inside the base which allows you to adjust the mirror. It is loose now and on the highway it falls down. here is a pic of the metal ball and how the mirror gets on the highway
Any idea how i can tighten that?

remove the billet base that the ball is in and see if there is an adjustment screw on the bottom of it. Sometime there is a small allen key/screw that you can tighten and loosen.
Worst possible situation get some loc-tite and put a few drops on the ball, move the ball around alittle to spread the loc-tite around then center the mirror where you need it. That should hold pretty good.

but seriously
