Hey guys,

The right mirror on my dad's xs400 will not stay in place. I believe it's the ball and socket style mechanism? Is there a way to tighten this so the mirror doesn't droop? I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow but figured I'd ask first.
Thanks!
 
Threw the mirror in the oven until it reached 250 degrees F. This was enough to soften the rubber around the glass, and I was able to pop if off. Behind the glass, there was a screw with a spring. The screw was bad and the threads in the stem were worn. I'm going to try to re-thread.
