Loose Rear View Mirror

My Interior Rear View Mirror will not stay tight. I have purchased a new bushing/screw that I have read about in other threads. I have tightened it as tight as I dare and within minutes of driving it is flopping around. any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think it is original but I cant say for sure. I will have to take a look at it later tonight when I get home.

Re: Loose Rear View Mirror

I ended up swapping out the phillips head screw with a small allen head screw. That was the only way I could get enough torque on it to be tight enough. Seems to have worked.

I had to do the same with mine to keep it stabilized after trying everything else...
