[QUOTE="YaleHampton, post: 233497, member: 7172"] I wouldn’t use super glue on the ball joint. It may hold for a while, but then you lose most of the adjustment and it’ll be a pain if you ever need to reposition or replace the mirror. I’d first check whether the pivot or mounting hardware can be tightened. A little blue threadlocker on the mounting threads can help if they’re loosening from vibration. For the vibration itself, bar-end weights or better isolated mirror mounts can make a noticeable difference. If the mirrors are just cheaply made and the joints won’t stay tight at highway speed, replacing them with a better set is probably the cleanest solution. Clear silicone might add a little resistance, but I’d treat that as a temporary fix rather than the final answer. [/QUOTE]
