Default CraftSquare Mirror Problem

I have a set of CraftSquare mirrors on my car and recently the drivers side mirror ball and socket at the bottom of the stem has become loose. At any speed above 120 km/h the mirror folds down due to the wind resistance. Just wondering if there is any way to tighten this ball and socket.


Thanks for any advise!

Tyler, whats up buddy? I would assume these are the mirrors that I sold you. I never had that problem before, are you sure the allen key is snug and secure? I really can't think of anything else off the top ofmy head that it could be.
