Well James there is at least ONE way to tighten your mirrors.  The rubber 
cushion washers that hold the mirror on have a hole down the middle, you 
need measure this inside diameter and get an appropriate size tap.  Tap 
threads inside (make sure and tap threads on both the top and bottom 
washers) then screw in a bolt.  Tighten to snug.  This should help the 
"looseness" but may introduce some vibration at certain speeds.  I have done 
this to one mirror with no ill effects.
