rolling mirror problems

My mirror won't stay in place. It's the round ball joint? that attaches the mirror to the arm. The mirror moves counterclockwise and clockwise. I tried tape, but I'm sure the vibrations will make it come loose soon. Any
suggestions for a permanent fix? Thanks!

We had this happen at 400 miles on a brand new Buddy!
Stopped in at University Scooters - they swapped it out for brand new (under warrenty). I did not want to mess with it while under warrenty of take the chance on scratching or breaking the mirror!
Good to go...

I've had this happen to me twice now, both times my fault.
First time was the one and only time I've wrecked. Second time was being OCD about mirror orientation and worked the bolt loose. The first time, I found that thread that was linked. Second time it went much faster.
Simple fix!

I find the WMS fix gets quicker every time. I've done it about half a dozen times now - takes me all of 2 minutes once the mirror is off the scooter.

My scooter does this, too. It happened one time while I was actually riding and I had to wait until we stopped to put it back in place. I usually check to make sure the mirrors are secure before riding now.
