As I have fixed some that way, depends on the style of mirror.

Correct me if I'm wrong (my memory fades). I used to have this same problem on my 77 and it was fixed by taking out the glass and some of the screws that hold the plate over the pivot ball had to be tightened.

If I take them apart I usually put a little copper anti-seize on the pivot. It makes them work smoother so they adjust easier without the release-jerk but it still is not so slippery that it droops.

See...now I remember why I took it apart. I also put anti-seize on the pivot ball. Wow, my memory is shot.
