How can you tighten these up. I’ve taken the top and bottom covers off the mirror arm but can’t see a way of doing it?
 
I the mirror and arm are loose then you can't, get new ones.
If the mirror is loose on the arm (ie it folds in/tips over at 40mph) then there is a clamp on the ball which tightens with an M5 allen bolt (as per @mick the builder)
 
As above for the mirror head on the ball joint, and the arm itself but...

It may also be that the mirror arm bracket is loose on the hinge. Remove the hinge bolts through the door and you can then access the bolts that hold the mirror arm to the hinge. When I had this on mine however the movement had caused the threads to wear so I needed to fit longer bolts to bite into clean threads to solve the problem.
