    Pretty sure this is a very common issue but I'll ask non the less......
    Glass in my sport mirrors shakes all over the place. Driver side stays where it should but vibrates like crazy and very loose. Passenger pretty much travels where ever it feels like and vibrates so bad you couldn't see out of it anyway.

    Is there a simple trick or fix to getting these mirrors glasses to tighen back up?

    Thanks

    There is a phillips head screw inside behind mirror. Just tighten it & your done. Easy fix...
