Cool loose side mirror

At the bottom of the mirror pop the round plastic cover (approx. 40.00 mm diameter) off, tighten the M6 bolt.

loose side mirror

Thanks for the information.
Driver's side mirror was loose, regardless of how many times I retract or extend them. Popped off the cover on the bottom of the mirror and tightened the 4 torx bolts. Nice and tight now.
