I picked up a mirror I want to use on the passenger side. The base was easy to rotate but I can’t get it to mirror to rotate on the shaft. I took the nut and spring off but it still doesn’t move at all. Anyone know what I need to do?

Got it. Lots of WD-40 and a back an forth freed it up. Now I have to drill holes in my door. Scary!
