Loose mirror and a beeping CO2 warning device

Yahoo Message Number: 61824
Has anyone had experience with a loose side mirror? Mine has decided it(the entire unit, above the attach arm) wants to rotate. I had the experience on an older Tradewinds, but there was a large allen screw that would tighten it up. I don't find one on this one. Any suggestions where it might be?
Also, the CO2 monitor is sounding off. Pressing the reset is only a temporary fix. The LPG monitor is quiet. Opened windows (coach is parked in my garage) and that stopped it, but by the next day it was going again with the windows still open. Do these things just go out of whack from old age? This one is dated june 2006. What about heat? Its over the century mark here in Southern Nv.

Any ideas are appreciated, as always.

I don't know if more elaborate mirrors were used on your Inspire but our 2007 Allure has had problems with the rear view mirrors becoming loose and of no value at the most trying times. Twice in heavy traffic, once in Denver and another time in Chicago.
On our Allure, there is a chrome cap that covers the Allen screw which is intended to provide friction on the mirror. The cover can be removed with a medium sized flat screwdriver.
Obviously tightening the Allen screw wasn't a final fix as the problem reoccurred although it lasted quite a few thousand miles.
This may solve your access issue now but I'll be eager to see if others have a more effective solution short of Lock-tite.

My 2007 Inspire had a loose mirror, and I was told to just tighten the Allen screw (which I could not find). Finally, I discovered that the small plastic horizontal amber lens that is on the bracket just below the mirror can be pried off. Then the screw can easily be tightened.

My right mirror was loose and I used a 9/16" long socket to tighten the nut at the bottom of it. The access is covered by a quarter sized plastic cap.
