There are two 10mm nuts on the inside of the front clip for each side. Tighten them down, but don't over do it. Get them nice and snug then add a little click to it make sure they are tight. Does that help?

If the nut in the mirror shell is loose, get the mirror replaced.
You can tighten the stalk by mashing the big rivet with hammer or drill the river out and replace with nut/bolt.

I gave up on mine and replaced them with Firebolt mirrors.
Rewired the turn signals to the running lights.

Heh, I just realized he was talking about the pod itself and not the stalk. Doh!

Just get a new mirror. The only way to get at that nut is to remove the mirror. The mirror inside the pod is on a ball that is mounted to a bracket behind the LED inside the pod with two screws. It is virtually impossible to get at those screws without breaking the mirror. Besides the mirror/turn signal assemblies are not very expensive.

They are covered by warranty. Worst you'll have to do is wait on them to be delivered.
