Drooping windscreen mount

[Howardl]

The ball joint needs to be tightened up because my unit keeps drooping.
Is there anyway of doing this?

Which mount style?

Generally, a proper orientation and a good pull removes the ball from any mount. Then you can add a shim before pressing the ball back in place. Have even seen ordinary copy paper used with decent results.

Mine is 5100, I think
It seems like a magnet that pulls it into the mount.

Yes, the ball can be separated from the mount. Give it a try. Pull the arm/cup down toward the power connector and keep pushing until the lever action of the arm against the mount causes the ball to pop out of the mount.

Try this. Take a latex glove and cut a finger of off it. Stretch the finger of the over the ball. The push the mount back together again. This usually works well

Perfect solution! Thanks for the tip. It really works well.
