apr gt3 mirrors
 
I have these mirrors, but they keep coming loose, my drivers side the actual mirror is lose and falls over while driving, the other side not the ball, but below that moves up and down. I have tightened everything (or so I think) and can't figure out a solution. Help would be appreciated thanks.

No specific experience with these but I would suggest locktite.

Go back to stock. Those look and are just awful man.

I agree with Turbo. Those things look like crap on our cars. It looks like you knocked your stock mirror off in an accident and couldn't afford OEM, so you bought a cheap piece of shit universal replacement in the ricer aisle at Pep Boys. The worst part is how much you end up paying to get what looks exactly like a $15 universal mirror.

The solution to your problem: Put the stock mirrors back on.

To each is own, so people need to shut up about how it looks. Did you use the same bolts as the OEM one? Maybe the new one is too short?

Agreed. Regardless of our opinions on it aesthetic-wise, OP did not ask for them. It's best to stick to the topic at hand instead of interjecting with fruitless opinions.

Acknowledged. I have edited my post to provide the solution he asked for.

Why don't you take it apart. Pics would help us help you. I'd imagine some washers or locktite or teflon tape to tighten things down a bit. Cheaper race mirrors have this problem and apr is no exception. Some people have no problems though. Post pics.
