My Coupe and ur-quattro both have miniscule Allen screws to tighten up the
mirror. I have to say I haven't ever experienced this problem.
(One day I will have to post some .JPGs of my toolbox. I have a large ALNICO
magnet bolted into the side of a bay in the upper tray, and I collect small
Allen keys on it. I find tolerances to be so poor at the bottom end - below
4mm - that Imperial keys often fit metric screws better, and vice versa. I
have around 20 Allen keys at 4mm and smaller.)
