I got some warranty for you BOY

Here is the Billy Bob fix I have used a couple of times.
Take the mirror off the car and place it face down on the bench.
Adjust the ball all the way over, and untill the shaft stops in the socket.
Take a automatic center punch and make a series of punch marks on the ball, working all 360* around the ball.
The idea is to upset some metal that should add some friction. Repeat as needed.
Don I can not remember now, I may have tried that on your car Call me.

P.S. Rich....it will require Beer...but when I see you next time I will explain to you what a automatic center punch is...

A friend of mine had the same problem. He adjusted the mirror to the desired alignment, carefully removed it and laid it face down on a table. He used the clear liquid in a Windshield Crack Repair Kit. Just a couple of drops around the ball and let it set. That was almost two years ago and so far no problem.
One issue I can see is people bumping it at a cruise or show, but we all know that could NEVER happen!

I like Mike's idea with the beer and automatic center punch I will give that a try on the 67 tonight

The center punch is the way to go. If you have a steady hand you can do it on the car with one shot, that has lasted about two years for me. (original mirror)

If you use "beer" take it off the car first!!

Hay guy's..the beer ref was just to bust Rich's chops...

Was not suggesting the beer was required to do the repair
