The mirror attaches to the body with two #10-32 screws, and caprive
nuts under the body cowl. The stem wiggles when it comes loose from
the base. The stem is supposed to be swaged in place like a rivet,
but they often work loose. You may be able to hold the assembly
upside down and use a center punch and hammer to re-set the riveted
bottom end of the stem. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it comes
loose again in a short while. One time I drilled and tapped the
bottom of the sem and installed a screw with a flat washer to hold it
all tight together.
