Hey Brian, sorry to hear about how tight the adjustment is on your CIPA mirror # CM11552 are. This is done so that the mirror stays stable but the downside is that it can be pretty hard. Is it pretty cold where you are? Most likely with a few adjustments it will loosen up a bit.

Hey Brian, did the mirror loosen up after you made a few adjustments? It’d be great to hear if it moves more smoothly now. Your update could make it easier for others with the same mirror.
