What ever you want to do.

I have not had a inside mirror for years or if i did have one i can`t see anything .Just have the bigger outside mirrors.

i am sure I must have some around some place if you want one

If it wobbles at the screw trim down a plastic drywall anchor to tighten up the screw. I've had to use a few of these where the rear lights and the outside mirrors meet the body. The screw holes had become too big. I usually clip a bit off the end. My shameful secret:
