I have a slightly loose mirror on the offside. Can somebody please tell me how to tighten it please?

The arm from the door is fine, it’s the mirror housing that’s wobbling slightly (hope this makes sense!).

Thanks in advance

On the lower side of the mirror housing where the puddle lights are, there is a round plastic plug with a small slit for a screwdriver to prise open. Inside there are 2 screws - these may be loose.

theres also a 'how to' in the wiki re loose mirrors... ... - .- -.

Thank you Dolphinboy, just had a look and sadly I don’t see any plastic plug Wish I had though as that sounds like an easy fix! Thanks anyway

Thanks Stan, I looked at that earlier, shame the photos are missing. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to remove the door card and the mirror assembly for this...I’ll have another read

Does anybody know if I can remove the mirror cover/cap and if I can, is there a facility to tighten the mirror wobble there? As already stated the mirror arm from the door is fine. Thanks in advance.

don't think you can ...you might be able to prise the mirror off a get 'in' that way..do a search for something like 'broken mirror' and see what comes up.. ... - .- -.

Stan's right. I found out because my mirror got whacked by a passing taxi a few weeks back. The mirror glass popped out, there it was just hanging on the cables. I pulled over and it popped straight back in.

I needed CPR but the mirror was fine. I would try googling / youtube first.

And use one of those wide plastic trim removing levers:

Good luck, Greg. Cheers, Greg

Thanks Stan & Greg, I found this on YouTube, hopefully there will be a tightening mechanism behind the cover, I’ll maybe have a go later today and report back.

this is what you'll find inside.

Thank you very much for the photos nino_nino

Do you know if it is possible to tighten the mirror in there somewhere?

this is the main metal casting that pivots, so i would assume this bolts must be what is holding outside plastic structure.

Many thanks once again nino_nino

I’ll report back when I’ve had a look...

Finally got round to trying to tighten up the wobbling o/s mirror. Mirror cap came off no problem, tightened the bolts nino_niro highlighted but made no difference

Anybody got any other ideas

The complete mirror assembly is wobbling up and down as per the red arrow in this photo:
