I think I'm following you, but my problem is in the mirror instead of the
long extension arm. The arm doesn't loose it's position, however the mirror
does, it won't hold the correct position on the arm. Unless the hex head
bolt your talking about in some way also tightens the swivel connecting the
mirror to the arm.
