Carol,
I have a set of the McKesh mirrors and they hardly move. You do have to be careful to not slam the doors too hard. I followed suggestions and have them working great on my 2nd trip.
Take the strap out of the straight-down hole and run it around the inside edge of the frame. That puts the strap up against the door and it won't hum to you all the way there & back. Do it on both sides. Have the twist knobs pointing to the rear of the TV.
There are several screws to tighten and you didn't mention where the loose joint is.
a) Torque the wing-nuts for the strap about as tight as you can get them without a tool. This also helps keep the window from catching the mirror when you close the window.
b) The square shaft that moves the mirror in and out needs to be tightened down tight with a screwdriver. It doesn't need to move after it is initially set.
c) The nut below the mirror where it goes thru the aluminum bar needs to be tightened with a wrench. It doesn't need to be adjusted but can work loose and cause movement, both jiggle and rotation.
d) The screws that tighten on the ball mount at the bottom of the mirror need to be tweeked so that you can move the mirror to adjust it but it doesn't move very easily.
I hope this helps. The mirrors I took off were 10X worse than the McKesh. They were strapped to the OEM mirrors and liked to work their way off enroute. So I would see them coming loose and want to grab them.... not good. Also, they jiggled so badly I could hardly make out the road behind.
Hope you get them adjusted to your liking. These McKesh are great!
Bob
