Loose Side Mirror

When I was washing my car today, I noticed my driver side mirror was loose. Could anyone tell me how to tighten it up or is it a big project to get into? Thanks. (Sorry I'm kinda new and starting to figure out out the little things on a camaro).

You need to pull your door panel and use a 10mm socket to tighten it. No biggie.

It depends on if it is the mirror itself or the whole thing. If it the entire unit, then do as SgtSkip said.

If it's just the mirror, do a search (can't remember the title) and you will find a thread on how to repair it. Not that hard (maybe a 6 out of 10), but time consuming.

If its the mirror the 3 rinky dink screws holding it in place could be loose. Adjust the mirror in different spots and you can see/get to the screws to tighten them up.
