How can i tighten the side mirror? It seems to be a bit lose vertically (i.e. with my hand i can slightly move it in an up/down motion). The only screws related to the mirror seem to be, two underneath the mirror, and three at the inside of the door. But all of them seem to be correctly tight. |

if its electrical, it could be that the part the mirror is held on could be broken from the actual mirror unit, this could make it loose, these usually brake when the mirror unit has been twatted, im not sure on F's but this can happen on some cars. remove the mirror and have a look inside to see if theres any damaged parts. hope this helps. |

Mine is like that. I've tried taking it to bits and tightening everything I could see but it hasn't helped much. There is some info on these things on this site somewhere. You could do a search.... |
