This is sidemirror?

I had to take mine out to put in the LED sidemarker covers. There is a heating element that plugs into it, and if i remember, there is a metal prong that goes into the motor assembly towards the edge.

I don't believe you can "tighten" it, since it is sitting on the motor assembly.

Most mirror glass for sideviews just pop out, if you can leverage them evenly. With our power mirrors, there will probably be a plug to disconnect or more if you have heated mirrors. I had to replace one on my Celica and my Matrix and they just pulled right out with some effort.

Nick, was it a pain to install the LED covers? I want to do this mod but haven't found anyone that did it already.

The motor assembly could possibly be loose. You know, like a little play in the motion of the motor. Anyways, to take the glass off, you can basically just pop it off by using a long screw driver and prying it off of the motor base.

And as far as the LED mirror install... if your patient, it'll go fine. All depends on how you chose to wire them up, and how much concern you have with hiding the wiring. I'm not patient, and I don't like visible wires, so my install looks like the car came that way.
