    Both outside mirrors cabinets are loose and wobble slightly on the base. The screws are tight and I can't figure out a remedy. Next oil change I will ask Toyota dealer for estimate to fix. Anyone had this problem and have a fix?

    Remove inside door panel and tighten the nuts where the mirror penetrates.

    FIXED....well partly
    I was able to get most of the looseness out by removing the outer torx screw from the mirror housing and adding a washer. There is another screw in the housing closer to the door i could not get to with the torx tool. Here is a link that explains

    You can pop that cap off on the inside of the door like PHM said, but remove all the bolts, then you can pull the mirror off to tighten that inside screw

    Don't know if this is where I should post but my 2001 Tundra's passenger mirror is missing. The glass and I assume a plastic bracket. I ordered a glass from ebay, but thought the plastic bracket came with it---NOT----. Does anyone on this forum know where I can get the plastic bracket that attaches to the glass?
