I had the mirror off the K100 and also the car and I think the ball is the same detail. I didn't see a tension nut on mine
This is based on the K100.
Getting the glass off is a pop off move and may be easier done with the pod on the bike but watch when you are doing it so it doesn't pop off and land on the ground. On the K100 you can get something in behind the glass from the outside by leaning the glass the opposite way. Then do same from the other side. Put some protection between the glass edge and the pod to avoid scratching it The glass part is bonded to the back of the glass and I think is about 50mm wide so you should be able to exert pressure on this part instead of the glass. With some degree of care the glass can be popped off. Do NOT lubricate the ball when you are putting it back on as the adjustment function relies entirely on friction between the ball and socket. I have a feeling that if you get another pod [from a K100] you can remove the ball part and fit it into the K1 pod as the ball part may not be part of the moulding and is most likely to be the same part number. I have done this on the car to avoid having to access wiring and respraying pods by getting a secondhand manual mirror on the basis that the plastic mouldings would be identical, which they were. Worst case scenario a replacement glass can be got.
Maybe a very thin layer over the ball might tighten it up for you.
This may not be acceptable to you but as short term is a short length of the foam pannier seal cut and pushed in between the glass and the pod to stop the glass moving, its still adjustable.
