For any of you needing to tighten up the side view mirror on your C-3 and are hesitant to soak it in lacquer thinner for fear of destroying something, fear not. I just performed the tightening on my '69 mirror (Paragon reproduction with dated mirror) and it worked perfectly. I soaked the head of the mirror over night in a pyrex bowl and the glass fell out without any prodding and absolutely no damage to the glass or chrome. I used a small drift to re-peen the rivets holding the flat steel across the ball of the arm and it tightened up. Will it stay tight? We'll see next summer. Hope this helps.
