Vibrating Drivers Mirror

As stated, the driver side mirror shakes/wobbles/vibrates when driving the car. It isnt the mirror housing itself, but appears to be the mirror itself thats a little loose. Anyway to tighten it up inside the housing??

The mirror is stuck to a plastic plate that is mounted on a ball in the center. Then the two motors attatch to other points on the back of that plate. If you can tell by wiggling the mirror if the play is between the mirror and the plate, then you can fix it. If the play it the plate, then it's not really servicable and you have to replace the whole mirror assembly.

If the mirror is loose on the plate, you can pry it off, you can re-stick it to the plate with silicone or 3M mounting tape. If you crack the mirror getting it out, don't worry, the dealer sells replacment mirrors.
