door mirror gone loose

Post by weirdfish » Mon Mar 25, 2019 11:05 am

Anyone have any ideas, or a link to a "how to"
Basically passenger side door mirror can be pushed in with no effort at all, feels very loose, still works electrically when folding in and out.

This pic shows how the mirror backing plate attaches to the motor for movement. The center circular piece and the four legs (for want of a better word) pop into place to hold it. Perhaps some of them have popped out

This shows the other side of the circular plate which has the mirror attached

Perhaps I didn't explain it very well, I meant the whole mirror assembly, not the glass.
