    Tightening mirrors

    So silly me was reversing and clipped my right hand side mirror on a pole. Lucky for me I was going slow enough to stop and not cause it to break off.
    It sits fine but feels loose when you move it with your hand. Found this out during washing.
    How can I go about tightening it?

    we're talking about the whole mirror and not the mirror covers?

    cool, looks easy. Just need to take the whole door card off...and the foam which is often a PITA.
    Thanks.

    Worked on it tonight. Turns out you can just remove the plastic covering on the inside and you expose the foam that covers two screws.
    easy.
