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.
