I was told by a very knowledgeable Chevelle guru that the repro mirrors ALL do that in time.  He said only the original factory ones don't loosen up.
This guru was great fun.  He has five garages FULL of chevy parts, mostly Chevelle.  Rows and rows of parts.  It was Chevelle heaven.  We had great fun getting lots of parts we needed at a lot less than the cost in catalogs or swap meets.  The guy says he has stripped down about 500 Chevys.

Mine did that on the 65. I replaced it. Problem solved.

My Passenger side outside door mirror will not stay in position. If you close the door a couple of times it is way off line.

Any simple tricks that will tighten up a factory mirror? Obviously this is one of those friction things that I need to somehow tighten but is a pressure thing that has no adjusting mechanism...

Any thoughts from the Chevelle Guru's?
