or simply, remove door panels and use a nut LOL

its not the fact that it doesn't hold in place its when I adjust it after i start driving the mirror "adjusts itself".

Oh! the mirror itself, and not the support!

in that case the screws inside the cup holds the pivot system to the cup has nothing to do. The mirror I think it is basically a ball joint and is being loosen, maybe fixable.

THE CORRECT WAY TO GET access to the two phillip screws inside the cup to fix this balljoint it's really breaking the glass and using a regular screwdriver through the glass baseplate what have couple of holes to get access to them.

HOWEVER maybe if screws are not stuck, you can get acces to an L shaped screwdriver.



On one mirror I have I can loose one of the screws but not the other, is stuck, and the L shaped scredriver doesn't provide me a firm way to loosen it, so only way I have is breaking the glass.

If was posible to remove the glass without break it will be great! I have tried with solvents to melt the glue without success
