    So, I've got a Classics Mirage, and I love the guy. I do have ONE small issue, though. The joint his foot is attached to is a bit loose, and I'd like some advice on how to tighten it.

    I'm not talking about the ball-joint, I mean the joint that the entire foot is attached to (rivet?).

    9 times out of 10 future floor polish will work for tightening joints.

    I know that, but like how do I get it off in the first place to APPLY something to tighten the joint? I don't think I can just rip the foot off.

    I examined mine, and yeah it could be kind of awkward to remove that pin. If I can't remove the joint, sometimes I leak floor polish into the gap and it still works. *shrug*

    Well, I just used a tiny screwdriver to wedge some glue in the rivet. Seems to have worked. Just hope this fix lasts.
