Default Towing mirror fix
Is there anyway to tighten the glass on my mirror? It's really loose and just goes wherever it wants to

There is a way, but you must be super careful. You have to pry the glass off from its mount, and there is a nut behind it. Snug it up, then glue the mirror glass back on.

No, a heat gun won't melt the glass. Heat will help, and a tool to carefully pry the glass off. DO NOT use anything metal though.
