My PO moved them off the doors...the relocation brackets expose the bolts...makes it easy to tighten. And I made a third arm for the passenger side so I could see with the hard top on.

I’ve got a ‘97 with full doors and I have the same issue. They always move, even on a short trip.
OP
I tried tightening them but they were already screwed in all the way. I think I will follow advice and get some mirrors on order.
Add some washers...or lock washers...and blue Loctite...or all of the above.

I thought the same thing with mine but I still got them tighter with a bigger screwdriver and a more focused effort. Mine stopped moving around after that second attempt.
I see know what ya'll are talking about with the early mirrors. I have to adjust mine every time I shut the door.
OP
Those are the same on my half doors. I backed the screws all the way out and cut the little boot of thinking they might disassemble somehow but nope. I screwed the two screws back in and really put a lot of torque on them. Meh? Maybe stay a bit longer between adjustments, time will tell.
Damn didn’t know that screw existed! My hard doors (oem mirrors) are doing the same thing. Also, has anyone just replaced the mirror on their jeep door? Driving down a back/gravel road today and a rock done broke it! I see they sell just the mirror and assuming it’s just some glue that holds it on, maybe?
