Re: [ST] Loose mirror joint

[david.funk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I did the fix below, with minor differences.
Us washers with a large enough hole to go around the post in the middle
and press on the serrated washer.
Do not tighten too much.
My mirror will bend back if push hard enough, but no longer wiggles around.
So far I have only had to fix the left mirror.
