Could anyone clue me in on how to tighten the support post on the two door
mounted rear view mirror on my 88 chevy 3/4 ton pickup. Both mirrors fold
back when I reach highway speed. I have found the torque screw on the botton
of the housing but can't seem to figure how to remove the housing to access
the mirror post. Anyone have any suggestions.

Remove the tiny screw on the bottom of the little black plastic piece
on the outside of the door, piece should pop off after that, be gentle
with it as it has clips holding it in.  Then there are two bolts that
you can try to tighten, didn't make any difference with mine, tried
various things, even putting some emery cloth in the moving mechanism
for friction.  Ended up adjusting them where I wanted them then
drilling a hole and putting a screw through the bracket into the arm
