My right rear view mirror has a slight vibration at over 4000 rpm and tends to creep downward at high speeds. Does anyone know how to tighten the rear view mirrors? The owners manual says nothing

Take it off and peen the base rivet on an anvil or the like with a decent weight hammer.
Or- remove the rivet and replace with a bolt/nut.

Or remove the whole thing and put FireBolt mouse-ears on it and rewire the signals to the running lights - that's what I did.
