Anyone know how to fix a loose wing mirror

[alx_chung]

Ugh!! Woke up yesterday morning to find that someone had kindly tried to kick off my passenger side wing mirror (how else do you explain a footprint on the casing??)
Anyways the didn't really do a good job of it so they have just unseated the wing mirror from the plastic bit that touches the door and the mirror is loose (but not hanging on a thread) and can move about (will get pics later)
Just wondering is it an easy job to fix or is it a dealer job?

where it connects to the door , you can take the door cards off and tighten the bolts up.
bear in mind if you not taken the door cards off before be prepared for a 2 hour job the first time you do it , and make sure you have woken up on the right side of bed cause you will need patients

Someone did that to mine and i needed a new motor luckily they did it under warranty. Now I always fold mine in so no tit can do it again!

Prob best left to the dealer then....woke up with a stonking migraine this morning and doubt I will have enough patience to deal with it.
Very annoyed

You still got warranty?

Aye I have. Don't see how it could be a warranty job though.

They did mine through warranty and i even told them it got kicked. They just put it down as faulty part

Somebody tried to turn mine back against itsself from folded position, they done most the cars on the street!

Mirror a bit loose, when its next in at the dealer ill just ask them to look at it and say its been getting looser for a few weeks....
