85 k20 with OEM mirrors. My passenger side likes to move back towards the door after driving at highway speed. The rubber grommet is intact and seems fairly snug. Is there a way to adjust the tension or gripping power on the arm to keep it from moving unintentionally?

mine were moving back as well...and I tried tightening them up just like the video...they still moved...tried again to the point I was afraid of snapping the little bolts...they still moved...so I took a little piece of folded sandpaper, loosened the adj back off, stuck the sandpapaer in the gap and tightened it back up...that solved my problem...
