Cool loose glass

Well - I bought the car second hand 12 years ago (does that make me the longest surviving SVX owner?) it had only 15k on the clock - the car is a red Dec 95 with now only 115km done & yes no the number plate is not for sale.

The glass shakes (maybe 2-3mm when pushed at top/bottom/side to side) - I suspect that it is on a ball socket & there is some sort of clamping arrangement arround the ball that was loose at the time that I bought the car - it is quite annoying at night as the lights of following cars seem to flicker & catch your eye - the other mirror is tight on the pivot point.

I have full set of manuals & have not seen any postings as to what the mechanism is (or for that matter how to get the mirror off) - I presume you need to remove the door lining etc ....

Any help would be great as this is the only thing I have had to do to the car in all the years that I have owned it (apart form adding a towing hitch, & the JDM had a rear window shelf de-ioniser/blower for the rear passengers to get some fresh air).

Pictures are on the following pages - all taken in Auckland, New Zealand.
